Disney confirmed its cartoon about a teenage daughter who takes up witchcraft after stumbling into the demon realm is the first to feature a lead character who is bisexual.
The protagonist of “The Owl House” is 14 -year-old Dominican-American girl Luz Noceda, who reportedly expressed interest in male attributes at some level but has since expressed interest in females, according to several sources. The show is about Noceda’s adventure in becoming a witch, despite having no magical powers.
Show creator Dana Terrace, whose pinned tweet as of Monday is” Anyway, be gay do witchcraft ,” said she has long had the intention to feature queer children in the casting of the indicate, and used a recent chapter about Luz going to prom as reveal the character’s sexuality. Terrace determines as bisexual.
” In dev I was very open about my intention to put gay kids in the main cast ,” she tweeted.” I’m a horrible liar so sneaking it in would’ve been hard haha. When we were greenlit I was told by certain Disney leadership that I could NOT represent any form of bi or homosexual relationship on the Channel .”
” I’m bi! I want to write a bi character, dammit! Luckily my stubbornness paid off and now I am VERY supported by current Disney leadership ,” she added.
When I was first developing Owl House I always wanted to do a prom chapter to make up for my own experiences. Back then PROM was an anagram for “Perennial Ritual Offering Maiden”. I’m so INCREDIBLY grateful for the crew working to make this episode so badass. pic.twitter.com/ Ak8dNVMAdo

Spencer Wan, who was a former animation director for the prove, tweeted the original storyboard for the dance scene between Lux and Amity, writing that it was his “first time getting to do anything even remotely queer.”
” The storyboards for the dance ,” he wrote.” This was a collaboration between Hayley Foster and myself. At some degree I got carried over and day it to Veo Lu Sluice by Kumi Tanioka. This was my first time getting to do anything even remotely faggot, and I’ve never been prouder of any board .”

As The Daily Wire reported, Disney’s Pixar broke brand-new ground in March when their film “Onward” became the first enlivened Disney feature to star an openly LGBTQ character 😛 TAGEND
The character, voiced by Lena Waithe, will be a lesbian police officer whose sexuality will be explicitly pointed out in the movie as opposed to just being suggested, such as the alleged lesbian pair in “Finding Dory” or the “exclusively gay moment” in the “Beauty and the Beast” live-action remake.
Other children’s depicts are featuring LGBTQ characters, such as the Netflix series” The Baby-Sitters Club ,” which features a 9-year-old trans child identified Bailey.
” When Bailey comes down with a fever, Mary Anne rushes her to the hospital, where two doctors misgender her ,” one of the tweets from Netflix read.” Mary Anne securely corrects them. Misgendering is traumatic. This is one of the baseline lanes cisgender people can show up for the trans people in “peoples lives” [.]”
