'Queer representation is sososo important,' she wrote, praising Disney Channel's animated series The Owl House (via toofab)
and added,"I know ppl might be unfamiliar with what pansexual means; for me it means I know I can fall in love with people of all genders. This is the word that fits me best and I'm proud+happy to be part of the Bi+ community."
Whitman voices Amity in the series, a lesbian character who has a romance with the show's bisexual lead, Luz. Luz, voiced by Sarah-Nicole Robles, is Disney's first bisexual character on one of their TV series ever. The show also recently introduced its first non-binary character back in July. The show's creator, Dana Terrace, said that when the series was in development she was"very open about my intention to put queer kids in the main cast." She tweeted,"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."
"Now I am VERY supported by current Disney leadership. Representation matters!" she added."Always fight to make what YOU want to see!" "The Owl House" is currently in its second season on the Disney Channel and was renewed for a third and final season consisting of three specials earlier this year.
