in creating a bisexual character. “In [development], I was very open about my intention to put queer kids in the main cast,” she tweeted on August 9. “When we were greenlit, I was told by certain Disney leadership that I could NOT represent any form of bi or gay relationship on the Channel.” She continued, noting that the decision to include a bisexual character was personal, and her current team has been more supportive. “I'm bi! I want to write a bi character,”
