Narrow minded people:

Scar would like to have a word with you all

Need anymore proof that all the left wants is destruction of the nuclear family?

Keep voting for the insane left folk. This is the shit they propagate.

What a nonsense. Leave our kids alone

Smack my bitch up

This is good. 👍 Don’t listen to the religious nuts. 🥜

No big deal because, you know, some people are actually bisexual.

Why is Disney pushing deviant sexual propaganda onto small kids?

_anailsa The world is getting further and further away from God. Don't me

For children?

That’s gross

🧐 why would a company want to focus on the sexual identity of a character in a children’s show? A show who’s target audience is children? Why would they want children thinking about sexuality and the like? 🤔🤔 I’m not saying it’s pedo’s...wait it might be pedo’s

Yo!! Didn't ya'll already push this story already Wtf is ya'll tryna do? Wtf is ya'll agenda ShitNN

Kill me now

Looks like Disney is full of paedos

Disgusting

What next when Disney have human and animal characters working together.

Time to disconnect Disney, and everything under it's umbrella.

Disney grooms children.

LGBT are sexualising children again. Imagine my shock!

Hell, back in the day, people on soap operas didn’t jump in bed half naked together, my conservative grandmother is probably rolling over in her grave because of this. Again, don’t judge. /3

Like I said before, not my place to judge. But, what’s going to happen next, the Holy Bible being written? I think Disney can portray characters who are gay, not being affectionate, maybe with two parents of the same sex. /2

🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Disney deviant occultism alive and well i see

satanic corruption

Oh ffs, fucking Karen's all have their panties in a wad over this one. It's cartoon romance. But you had ZERO problem with, technically, bestiality in Beauty and the Beast. There, drama queens, relate to that. Teach your kids better or just don't watch

These comments are hysterical

Ain't that blue haired bitch the creator self insert

Good news good for Disney 🏳️‍🌈

Okay I’m done talking all my shit, but I’ll be back when I wake up.😘 So for now, have some lumity 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

Boycotting all that Disney shit for long time already.... None of that mental crap in my home. Including that CNN shit boycottdisney CNNisFakeNews

Wow that’s some real in depth reporting there cnn

Here come the homphobes saying why are they shoving this down their children's throats. No one's forcing you guys or ur children so chill.

Naturally the opposite of positive is negative not another positive. So I have concluded... Being on TV doesn't mean it is right, supported by many doesnt mean we must all do it. Wrong will always be wrong no matter your opinion.

Why does their first diversity piece have to be bisexual? How very racist!

I love how people care more about two characters dancing togeather more than they do about what's happening in the real world. Like grow up. If you or your kids don't like it, then don't watch it. But complaining on a new article just makes you seem kind of childish.

14 years old and sexually active... Weird.

This is child porn

Oh great

This is outrageous

Owl house is a satanic show. Set in “Boiling Isles” where humans can be eaten. Befriending demons studying wicanry covens etc. Disney Channel is no longer safe for your kids. Turn it off

Disney and their sexual objectification of children. Why do people only care when its done to grown woman, but don't care when its done to children?

Don’t care

Thıs is sickness

Why from the DR? With so many countries in the world.

CNN promoting Disney sexualising minors, if you don't see how this is related to all the 'elites' who used to frequent Epstein's island, you're either cool with child sexual abuse, or need to wake up. 💩

Ok these comments ain't it I kindly ask you all who think there forcing it on kids to delete twitter for you are forcing you're dumbassery on me

This is so dumb and unnecessary!

Why do Disney characters need any sexuality at all ? Why is the left so focused on sexuality?

Indoctrination.

Karan heads will explode

Why are you and Disney promoting gay sex to children?

It's time to bankrupt Disney

And the gay male couple in Frozen. Gaston's best friend. Alligator in Princess and the Frog. We all know.

Wtf

Fuck and fuck Disney

This Shit will NOT be playing in my household.

Why are you involving children in this?

The children of America are being subjected to immoral agendas by of all companies, Disney. Disgusting and degenerate.

But not a left handed ginger! When will the erasure of my people end?

Y’all are trash for considering this news and Disney is trash for coming out with this bullshit.

Walt Disney is rolling over in his grave. How disgusting that you would make a KIDS cartoon show with a bisexual main character when KIDS don’t even know what the hell that means!!! And pretty inappropriate for a 14 year old to be in a relationship on a KIDS cartoon.

... Star Butterfly was WHAT exactly then, mofos?

Why children thinking about sex. This is center around sex. Why can't they just be two little girls who are friends. Little kids kiss because that means love you, not I'm in love with you.

Why do certain people oppose the LGBTQ+ community?

Get woke, go broke

Because Disney movies are know for their Sex Scenes? Who the fuck cares that the character is LGBTQ It's not a THING so why make it one They'd better let people know beforehand so they can decide if they want to take their kids to see it.

Even reading that was complicated 🤦🏾‍♂️. Just put the movie out and keep it moving🤣😭

Yet another attempt to ruin and traumatize childhood by sexualizing everything.

I don’t give a fuck

Pushing unnatural lifestyles on children. Now is the time for parents to be diligent about what they allow their children to watch.

Who Cares!!!!!!!

Why would there ever be sex in a Disney movie? Liberalism is a disease

owl house peeps! let’s drown out the homophobia and fill the comments with lumity☺️

Wow. These animated characters are so brave.

Why does she have to be Black, though? Disney is cancelled NoAntiBlackRacism

⚠️I will not be visiting any Disney property or purchasing any of their merchandise anytime soon. And yes, I have kids.⚠️

Why are are CNN and Disney talking about “sexual” and “14 year old” in the same sentence? Perverts

Disney is dead to my family. RIP pedos

dbongino

If they can't convince every adult, they turn to the innocent kids

That sounds gay.

That character on the left looks hella bitchy.

sex·u·al·i·ty /ˌsekSHo͞oˈalədē/ noun a person's sexual orientation or preference. plural noun: sexualities 'people with proscribed sexualities' There you go you conservative assholes who don't understand that Sexuality isn't Sex.

Now that won’t confuse most kids!

Technically the last episode ended with Amity shown to want to ask out Luz. Undoubtedly they’ll end up together because this is a modern cartoon and that’s how these things go - but Luz hasn’t demonstrated being bisexual.

I’m done with CNN.

exploring sexuality at 14? shouldnt children be busy doing kid things? seriously why is this in a children’s show?

My family in the DR are going nuts over this.

cuz 14 yo dominican girls aren't sexually exploited and fd up up the wazoo already endliberalism ignorantlibs

I can't wait until Disney introduces their first BDSM master in a children's cartoon! So stunning and brave!

My grandchildren don’t gone watch

You know what to do if you’re tired of this bullshit.

When are they coming out with Pedo character? Pedo lives matter!

CNN is trash

My family loves The Owl House and congratulate Disney for allowing the creators to make Luz bisexual even though we couldn't care less. For those of you who are upset about it, just change the channel and move on with your lives.

On tv?

😯😯

Do they scissor?

It is no longer about the nature of the origin it is the imposition

Lol that’s so gay

You know what my 4 & 2 yr old never asked once... Why isn't there more lesbian princess. Never! Why is this a thing for young kids?

Wait! This is a 14 year old! They don't have the legal right for consent. Therefore no right for sexual ANYTHING! This is sick!

I feel like the kids themselves don’t care too much about the sexuality of their movie characters.

And they call us deplorable?

noone forcing you or your kids to watch these shows if you do not watch a show the rating will fall and they will get cancel i wish some of you had a bigger IQ then shoe your shoe

We 👀you 👹.

Defund Disney 🤬

My daughter will not be watching.

Bi-sexual children? People still don’t believe Demons exists huh? Evil Sh*t. Disney’s pedophila obsession just got bolder. Brainwashing children into sex at an early age. Hell na! Disney Pixar LGBTQ LGBT CNN

Yall and Disney are gross

Either way it's disgusting.

That’s wonderful dear!

Disney is run by pedophiles and CNN supports them.

Gays should have to undergo straight tolerance training

A 5 year old kid that was murdered by a black American was buried today.

Absolutely embarrassing

pablorosales51 Tienes que hacer un vídeo reportando esto! Por favor!🙏

I'm still waiting for the day a cartoon reveals a gay characters and it doesn't show up in the news. You're not helping to achieve normalization.

Only sick people push this on children, let them grow up and make up their own minds.

Why is the sexuality of a '14 year old' relevant to a Disney cartoon? LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder

Grooming children for sexual exploitation.

Omg stop!

And this is why Disney will go down as everyone can already see it beginning with star wars where they tried to push their far left ideology down everyone's throat and didn't give a single f... about coherent storytelling. Now look what happened to their merchandise😄 Fu, disney

Next thing you know Mickey is gonna be boning goofy cause he’s confused

What a shit show. The world's going to hell.

Gag.

Nobody that actually matters cares about the sexuality of your actors.

So gross

In times like this COVID, kids and economy. CNN focuses on cartoons - Useless !

Well she’s the first Disney LGBTQ character in a main role

yup yup yup

why cant i find it on uk disneyplus

I support the gay community, but it should be explored by kids themselves, not by watching shows with gay cartoon characters. It is still a minority, because of being gay was the “norm” none of us would be here literally since same gendered people cannot reproduce

Say what you might about Disney, but they’ve been getting on the right side of LGBTQ and POC issues for a while now. 😍

Awesome thank you

all the homophobes stay pressed stan lumity

Disney is deplorable. I think we should cancel Disney Plus. It’s one thing to be accepting of others. But this is straight up indoctrination of children.

Gender culture norms of the 1950s is looking real good right now.

Still needed a daddy to make all those puppies. 101Dalmations

Sick. Sick. Walt Disney would roll over in his grave.

Y’all are saying it’s forcing sexuality into people, but if it is, being straight counts as a sexuality, so you’re just forcing it onto them :/

More lies from CNN

The girl on the left looks like Franziska Von Karma from Ace Attorney

good 💖 get the homophobes mad 💖

Awesome 👏

They don't call it TV programming for nothing. They are programming your children for this nonsense.

DanaTerrace 'Let kids be kids', bruh Im Bisexual and realised it at the age of 12 and I've never even seen a gay person before then. As a queer kid I grew up hating myself. This representation is needed! I wish I had this as a kid growing up. It would've made me love myself so much.

DanaTerrace The Owl House is my favorite currently ongoing animated tv series right now, I highly recommend it.

China is laughing all the way to the bank!

disneyplus is sexualizing children. Disgusting. BoycottDisney

People reading CNN article complaining why is there character crushing on another character Me who've remember old 90's cartoon shows and onward that had romantic sub plot:

DanaTerrace Not the heteros in this thread being mad actual people that exist in this world are getting represented and treated equally like um.... Normal people? Grow up.

This is sad.

Oh. Ok. Thanks for letting us know.

Wow cartoons have become so fucked. If had another child they would be watching VHS of Looney Toons from the 80’s and 90’s, maybe baby Einstein videos, but nothing new like Disney.Kids will think they are not normal seeing a bunch of confused trans characters as if that’s normal

DanaTerrace I was today days old when I learned that straight people only start having crushes at age 18. Wild. Anywho, be gay do witchcraft!

One less show for the kids to watch. I like where this is headed

comedynewsnetwork

Sweet bro

Happy to see this. Maybe some day we’ll understand why Love, Simon was pulled from disneyplus

Very happy to see different opinions “other than the typical” being worked on. It’s enlightening to this generation to learn about the possibilities early in life to answer lots of questions in their minds, and shape their brains to not hate, but love and live in peace together.

this is a fun spot to go on a mass reporting spree so many of y'all are straight-up babies

yall in the comments act like a child seeing an lgbt character in the media is gonna immediately turn them gay.

The devil has cnn and disney by the balls

Lmaoooooooo

This comment section is filled with a bunch of snowflakes.

DanaTerrace To the homophones in the comments 😘🦉✨

Boo the homophobics are pressed in the replies

No wonder Disney stock is going down...

DanaTerrace Wow, I can’t believe that a CNN article is how people are finding out that gay kids are real. What shock that must be for them. 🏳️‍🌈✌🏻

This has gone too far. Omg What a crazy and lost world we are living in

too bad her show is garbage

DanaTerrace REPRESENTATION MATTERS!!! I’m so happy with this show and it’s story. All you homophobic people need to leave and watching your children grow up in ignorant about the things that exist.

Homophobes stay mad

It’s a cartoon people! Don’t get offended, especially In 2020, where everything is offensive!

People: *exist* Snowflakes: you’re turning the children gay!!!!!!!!1!1!1!!1 Stop getting triggered over people existing 😂😂😂 love is love

SaiSaixChan diverse sexualities & identities really got people scared and upset

DanaTerrace

DanaTerrace Some of y’all really homophobic in 2020, anyways stan lumity for clear skin

stay mad heteros while we keep wining 💅💅💅

okay?

the gays have won, stay mad homophobes

Okay all you opposing this saying adult themes shouldn't infiltrate young minds are a bunch of hypocrites. I grew up watching Lion King, Pocahontas, Beauty and the beast and all of them had adult themed romances. It distorted my expectations of love as an adult.

The gays keep winning!!! Get over it snowflakes!

Nice

deerlasdesires these replies are making me chuckle. stay mad we’re winning🙈💕

For the homophobes in the replies❤️

DanaTerrace *so confused bc I thought the homophobic comments were just being sarcastic*

DanaTerrace I’m so grateful that some of the executives/show writers at Disney are fighting as hard as they are to get some representation in their shows. It makes me so happy to see that they’re slowly but surely making progress. I would’ve loved to have a show like this when I was younger.

Took about 14 replies to find the homophobes and I think that's a pretty good record.

To all the folks saying 'Do children have to know about lgbt?'I wish I'd known when I was a child & thought I was a weirdo and a sinner. And there are lgbt people who had tougher childhoods. This rep can make lgbt kids happy & be understood by their cis/het peers. It's important.

DanaTerrace People will cry about 'the gay agenda being forced down their throats' then instantly get on their 8 year old boy when he has a friend that's a girl 'ooo do you have a crush on her' It's not like kids shows for years have had straight relationships for decades and

Can y'all calm down in the replies? This is a show that has teenage girls dancing and holding hands. And this upsets you because?

So... It's a lesbian cartoon...

DanaTerrace I'm glad there is now a nice heading to an article in the news :)

All the homophobic replies here... Yikes. I’m so glad we are moving forward despite them. Good job Disney!

LOL the reply section is filled with parents who are too scared to teach their kids that, yes, LGBTQ+ people exist, and honestly I’m not shocked. Stay mad 👊😘

Disney disneyplus DisneyStudios Disney has f*cked up big time! It's about time they get shut for good. Manipulating young minds is the worst way to make money and Disney for sure will pay the price.

This is disgusting

DanaTerrace Ya love to see it 🏳️‍🌈

DanaTerrace This comment section failed the vibe check

14 years old.. that's Child abuse

DanaTerrace Straight couples exist (and kissing) in kid's cartoons all the time. Settle down boomers

DanaTerrace I hope this is written about in the history books.

I wish they/them could have a physical or mental illness as well. Thanks for excluding us :(

Disney is evil! Protect your kids and boycott!!

Man made laws and rights and wrongs is not but a set of desires and whim whams through which the arrogant man fight his/her‌ Fitra or innate nature given by God.

We're doomed

The alt right are gonna lose their minds. This is going to be great.

i dont gibe a fuckd

I wish they had gone with a slightly older Luz though.

Dems trying to normalize things that aren’t normal. Religion and beliefs aside, being a homosexual is not natural in any animalistic society throughout the entire world

Disney is off our list of places to go or movies to watch!

It's just fine. Snowflakes melting up in here though.

Inclusion is beautiful💛

She do anal?

I grew up watching Disney. But if I had a kid and know now the disgusting things being shown to kids by Disney, I would never let my kids watch ANY Disney programming?

Cartoons aimed at children shouldn’t feature any sexuality at all

I’m doing the research and prior to organized religions taking shape and promoting restrictive patriarchal societies, people were more inclined to be attracted to both sexes and it wasn’t a big deal. Maybe we just need to go back to basics.

Yawn

Disgusting

Normalcy is ok. But making it the main focus? Kids should not be subjected to sexualized content especially the really young. The part some aren’t getting isn’t that LGBT exist (most accept them), it’s the going out of your way to make a sexuaized point in child content.

I’m sick of this perversion being shoved down our throats .... won’t be watching!

After watching Megan Rapino play, I developed the urge to munch on the carpet in my house. I bought a Suburu, and drove it to the nearest Home Depot. And I’m a dude!

You are sick

Los Dominicano no somos asi,se equivocaron de país, así que miren a ver si borran su twit y no dejan en paz. Vayan con su agenda demoníaca para otra parte. conmishijosnotemetas

If the majority of the people here KNOW TV is programming your kids why the hell are you letting them watch anything? You actually think 95% of the shit on TV isn’t just mind controlling sheep mentality bullshit?

Hahahaahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahhahahahahahahahaahhahahaahahhahahahaha.

perverts

sexualizing children is gross period... kids do not need to worry about their sexual preference... that is an adult issue.

It's like showing them dickheads on tv will turn them into dickheads? No more dickheads to tv! Come on people, stop so scared

Gender hijacking the youth is unacceptable and should be met with extreme resistance. Society cannot allow this perverted behavior to corrupt the children and future generations to come.

Disgusting and disturbing.

Sick!

I really don’t care

pretty aggressive look on her face, like a wolf.

Seriously? We won't be watching it

Okay...

Next Disney needs to do a black gay trans female who has Down syndrome and is missing a leg.

That’s disgusting
