For the first time, ever, an animated series on the Disney Channel features a main character that is bisexual.
The series “The Owl House” follows Luz Noceda on her adventures to a magical world as she becomes a witch.
After a few episodes aired, the showed debuted in late 2020, series creator Dana Terrace took to Twitter to confirm that Luz is bisexual as you can see in the tweet below:
When I was first developing Owl House I always wanted to do a prom episode 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

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.
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.
