Disney Channel’s Andi Mack will feature the cable network’s first gay main character

TVLine

Season 2 will kick off with Andi and her best friend, Cyrus, realizing they both have romantic feelings for the same guy. As Andy Swift notes, “though this is the first time Disney Channel has shown a character’s journey to self-discovery as a gay person, it’s not the first time an LGBT character has been featured on one of its original series. A 2013 episode of Good Luck Charlie introduced viewers (briefly) to a lesbian couple whose child befriended the Duncans’ youngest daughter.” ALSO: Joshua Rush says: "I’m so proud to bring Cyrus’ groundbreaking storyline to life and for you to see what we’ve been working on."
