Southwest Airlines Spotlights Gay Transgender Employee in LGBT Pride Spot: WATCH
Southwest Airlines features Ethan Avanzino, a creative producer at the company, in a new spot for LGBTQ Pride.
“June is special for me because it is LGBT Pride Month,” says Avanzino in the spot. “As a gay transgender man, Pride is incredibly important to me because it celebrates who I am. At Southwest we say we’re a family and I really truly saw that familial love when I came out and transitioned because how I was treated before and how I’m treated now is one and the same…Having a work environment that is accepting is incredibly important for me. I’m able to just be who I am.”

Southwest recently made headlines after a gay man said he and his family were denied “family” boarding privileges by one of the airline’s gate agents.

Pulse Survivor Describes Nightclub Attack, Says He Tried to Grab Shooter’s Gun: WATCH
Juan Jose Cufino-Rodriguez may never walk again. He was shot four times by the Pulse nightclub shooter during the June 12 terror attack that took 49 lives. He’s currently confined to a wheelchair.
But he is telling his story now, and it is one of heroism.
A year after the shooting, for first time, News 6 is hearing from someone who tried to stop the carnage.
“Near my hand I could see that he was shooting and saw that he came toward me. I reached out with my right hand to try and grab the gun that he was shooting with and that’s when I feel the first impact and I see that my hand is practically hanging,” he said.
He begged for the shooting to stop.
“I was screaming. I was pleading to him, ‘Please stop it. No more. Look at what you’ve done,’” Rodriguez
Rodriguez said that’s when Mateen shot him in the knee and then in the right leg. He was shot four times.
“I just fell to my knees. I thought he was going to shoot me in the head. But I lowered my head and he shot me in the spine and that’s why I’m in this chair,” he said.
