Series creator Dana Terrace noted, “I was very open about my intention to put queer kids in the main cast.”

‘The Owl House’, a Disney Channel animated series, has made history by featuring Disney’s first bisexual lead character. Luz Noceda, a fourteen-year old who travels to another world to become a watch, has shown she’s attracted to male characters in the show, and in the two most recent episodes, a relationship between Luz and the recurring female character has been explored more extensively.

“In [development] 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,” Terrace wrote. “When we were greenlit I was told by certain Disney leadership that I could not represent any form of bi or gay relationship on the channel,” Terrace commented on Twitter.

In dev 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 haha. When we were greenlit I was told by certain Disney leadership that I could NOT represent any form of bi or gay relationship on the Channel.
