One of our favorite new Disney shows, Andi Mack, is about to make history. The show that has always pushed the edges a bit, announced it’s first gay storyline.

Andi Mack is about a girl who finds out her older sister is actually her mother.
They have hinted here and there that one of Andi’s best friends, Cyrus, is gay and in the Season 2 premiere this Friday, we find out he is.
Here is a clip Disney has released:
The new season premieres Friday October 27th.
Liz is a just a mom trying to keep it real about how little she sleeps, how often she gets puked on and how much she loves them. You can find her here every day writing about real-mom moments.
Patric says
Seeing storylines like this normalized on a major platform like Disney can make a world of difference, especially for young people exploring their identity. Positive visibility in media can also help foster acceptance in everyday life, including areas like gay dating, by encouraging a more open and understanding environment.
