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

Kinks are vices.
Would it be approved by WALT DISNEY?
Shut down Disney!! It is no longer a family oriented business!
Poor Walt Disney is spinning in his grave. That’s what Libs do when you die; they take the dream that you worked hard your whole life to create, and they twist, manipulate, and pervert it till they turn it into a horrific nightmare.
Hirsch lied, he snuck a pair of gay policemen
into his series
Walt must be heaving out his innards.
It’s a special kind of evil to pitch shows to kids with the message that sexual perversion is O.K.
Is she vegan & trans too? Le sigh....
No need for an apology in my view. I wouldn’t consider taking kids or grandkids there even if they wanted to. If they wanted to watch a porno flick, do they get their wish? I am surprised anyone here would consider going. In this show Disney is mocking Christianity from two directions.
Take them on a tour of the country. Lots to see and do.
That’s a great idea.
Listen to what Maudeen said, it's good advice... :)
Liberalism destroys everything it touches....EVERYTHING, including DisneyWorld.
It is the BORG of this century.
So, is Islam right about gays? Or not?
;-)
Silver Dollar City in Missouri was nice last year.
Yuck fou Disney. That is all...
LEGO land or Yellowstone or do an amusement park circuit...kings island, cedar point (cincy and Clev Ohio) then a water park nearby?....
What’s Silver Dollar City?
Maybe Knotts Berry Farm?
Course we could go to Yosemite. Love that place. Or the beach...
...except CA so screwed up now.
A “gay,” “multi-cultural” witch, huh? These people are tying too hard.
