The Owl House is praised for its LGBTQ+ plot and characters
The show has received praise for its LGBTQ+ plotlines. Especially the love story of Amity and Luz and the introduction ofDisney‘s first non-binary character. In addition, Dana Terrace, the show’s creator, confirmed that the characters are lesbian and bisexual, respectively.
Whitman’s experience as a pansexual.
While this is the first time Whitman has given her sexuality a name, it isn’t the first time she has spoken about her queerness. Whitman toldGlamourin 2014 that she liked people.
“I get along with everyone. Everyone I meet has so much wonderful potential, and there’s always something to learn from,” she said. “I think girls are attractive, boys are attractive, old people are attractive, young people are attractive — I think everything and everyone is attractive.”
Whitman mentioned that she had the advantage of growing up in a household where the same-sex attraction was completely normal. But, Whitman continued:
“I definitely have times where I’m attracted to girls or who I’m attracted to, and that should be the way it is.”
The Owl House Season 3 is in the works.
Disney has approved Season 3 of The Owl House. Therefore you’ll be seeing a lot more of it after the hiatus. When the season was announced, Meredith Roberts, senior vice president/general manager, Television Animation, Disney Channels, wrote:
“Dana and her team have created a series that continues to push the envelope with epic and diverse storylines, an astounding world, and multifaceted characters that have captivated our audience. We’re looking forward to bringing you more adventures in seasons two and three.”
