Diversity is making its way onto the Disney Channel. Disney has confirmed it has a bixsexual lead character on "The Owl House" series.
The 14-year-old Dominican-American girl, Luz Noceda, is not Disney's first LGBTQ+ character. Pixar featured a gay main character in a short film on Disney Plus, but Luz is the first bisexual character to make a Disney debut on a television series. "The Owl House" series follows Luz's adventure to becoming a witch, even though she does not have any magical abilities.
At first, "certain Disney leadership" was not too fond of the idea of having an LGBTQ+ character, said the series' creator, Dana Terrace, in a tweet. "I was very open about my intention to put queer kids in the main cast. I'm a horrible liar so sneaking it in would've been hard," she says in her tweet. "I was told by certain Disney leadership that I could not represent any form of bi or gay relationship on the channel." Terrace identifies as bisexual. She wanted to write about a bisexual character, so she really pushed Disney to allow the character.
"Luckily my stubbornness paid off, and now I am very supported by current Disney leadership," she said. Terrace has gotten tons of positive feedback from viewers. Many are thanking her for representing the LGBTQ+ community, and wishing they had a show like "The Owl House" when they were children.
In "The Owl House," a teenager finds herself stuck in the Demon Realm and battles the forces of evil alongside a rebellious witch and a pint-sized warrior. One of those commenters is Alex Hirsch, the creator of Disney's "Gravity Falls." Disney forbade Hirsch from any kind of LGBTQ+ representation, he says in a tweet to Terrace. "Apparently 'happiest place on earth' meant 'straightest,'" he says in his

Is Disneyland still safe? Sodomites are notorious child molesters.
I hope Disneyland is still safe because I want to take my two granddaughters there.
Do your homework. . . I would definitely choose another vacation site!!!!!!
At one time Disney was all about the little kids. Now it’s about sexual deviates and perverted kinky freaks.
Why is Dizzy promoting sex (gay, straight, bi) with a 14 year old?
I know! Animate a cartoon bundle of sticks, and anthropomorphize it with eyes and an mouth!
We really think it’s family entertainment to know the sexual practices of a 14 yr old?
I remember when “ entertainment’ like that used to be what pedos did to groom kids.
No. Don’t support the sodomites.
but is there a story or is it just more Disney happy sad happy sad happy sad bull
Uncalled-for acidic reply.
Well, aside from the glorification of witches or presenting demons as cute little balls of fluff what ELSE could the possibly do to make the show better suited for getting kids to think being damned is cool besides throw in some faggotry ... aside from some gender insanity in the next season?
Shut it down. ESPN. Disney et al. It’s fun.
Any suggestions for something as entertaining to the kids as Disneyland is or used to be?
I certainly didn’t mean to be sarcastic. Just do some searches and I think you will come up with the same conclusion. Disney is all about perversion . . . Why expose your children unnecessarily.
Wholesome entertainment for your children. NOT...pretty disgusting and very unnecessary.
If this character isn’t also inter-species then it’s just another example of white privilege and colonial domination.
Pixar is clearly the most racist entertainment company on the planet!

Don’t make such presumptuous statements as “Do your homework” to someone you don’t know at all. Makes you look bad and is a total turn off.
Corrupting the youth. Something tells me the people in charge there aren’t Christian.
