"Parenthood" and "Good Girls" alum and current co-star of Disney's fantasy series "The Owl House" Mae Whitman came out as pansexual in a social media post in which she declared herself "proud" to be the voice of "Owl House" lesbian character Amity Blight. "Being pansexual myself, I wish I had such incredible characters like Amity and Luz in my life when I was growing up," Whitman, 33, said in an Aug. 16 tweet, Us magazine reported. Luz, the show's hero (voiced by Sarah-Nicole Robles), is an ordinary human girl who accidentally ends up in a magical land. She begins attending a school for witches where she meets a number of new friends, including Amity. Luz herself is depicted as being bisexual — a first for a Disney cartoon, and still a rarity for the company's entertainment offerings overall. Amity, likewise, is the "first major animated Disney character to be a confirmed lesbian," Wikipedia notes. "Queer representation is sososo important," Whitman's tweet added. "keep it up world! #TOH." Tap link in bio to continue on @EDGEmedianetwork ?️‍?❤️ (?️: Kilian Melloy / @dragelruairi / ?: Mae Whitman / Instagram)
