Related: About this forumOne Million Moms Denounces Disney Channel For "Andi Mack" LGBT Story Line
LGBTQ rights advocates are praising the Disney Channels announcement that one of the principal characters on its coming-of-age series, Andi Mack, would be revealed as gay in the shows second season.
In Fridays season premiere of the tween-centic show, Andi Mack (Peyton Elizabeth Lee) is struggling with a crush on a middle school boy, Jonah Beck (Asher Angel). Later in the episode, Andis best friend, Cyrus Goodman (Joshua Rush), realizes that he, too, is experiencing feelings for Jonah. As the season progresses, the character will reportedly come to embrace himself as a gay tween.
True to form, the news received a less-than-enthusiastic response from One Million Moms, a conservative group that has found fault with everything from Ellen DeGeneres to Toys R Us to The Muppets in recent years.
In a Thursday post on its official website, One Million Moms officials blasted Disney for choosing to abandon family-friendly entertainment by introducing a coming out plot line on Andi Mack, which is one of the networks most popular shows for young audiences.
