Disney Channel is being praised by the creator of Disney Channel’s The Owl House for featuring an LGBTQ teenager in an animated series. Luz Noceda, the fourteen-year-old character in the series, is the first bisexual character in a Disney TV series. Disney has featured a gay character as the main character in a movie but never in a series.

Dana Terrace, an executive producer for the show, has been publicly sharing her thoughts about how it is important for all people to be represented in the show and as a bi-sexual person she has always wanted to “write a bi character.”

After the show premiered, the doubts were silenced and the series is now fully supported by Disney TV and has already been renewed for a second season.
