As reported by Deadline, the second season of popular Disney Channel series Andi Mack will feature a character realizing he’s gay and coming out to his friends. This will be the first coming-out story in the history of the Disney Channel, and it’s being billed as a “journey” that will begin in the show’s one-hour season premiere episode that airs this Friday. In a statement that seems directed toward anybody who would be mad about seeing a gay person on TV, Disney Channel said that Andi Mack “is a story about ‘tweens’ figuring out who they are…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.”
