No political comments, please.

“Andi Mack” will introduce an LGBTQ storyline in its upcoming season, marking the first Disney Channel show to do so.


During the Oct. 27 Season 2 premiere of the series from creator Terri Minsky (“Lizzie McGuire”), Cyrus (Joshua Rush) will tell friend Buffy (Sofia Wylie) that he has a crush on Jonah Beck (Asher Angel). The new season will feature the 13-year-old character’s journey as a gay teen.


“‘Andi Mack’ is a story about tweens figuring out who they are,” a Disney Channel representative said. “Terri Minsky, the cast and everyone involved in the show takes great care in ensuring that it’s appropriate for all audiences and sends a powerful message about inclusion and respect for humanity.”

Disney is right to have characters like Mack. Also Disney is keeping up with the times though.

i say this is a good thing. i support making LGBT people feel normal like us straight people. i have no issues with this or people who are Gay/Lesbian, transgender, Bisexual in general, in fact, i support the transgender getting the ability of going to the men or women's bathroom of their own choice of gender instead of being forced to go to the bathroom of gender they were originally born as, and also i support the Gays and Lesbians being able to get married.

one story short, i'm pro-LGBT civil rights in general.
