Disney Channel is making history with its first gay coming-out story

Disney Channel’s “Andi Mack” is making history with the network’s first story line about a gay character coming out.

Disney has introduced gay characters before — “Beauty and the Beast” made headlines earlier this year for featuring an openly gay LeFou, and Disney XD’s animated series “Star vs. the Forces of Evil” made history in its second season with Disney’s first same-sex kiss. Other Disney franchises, such as “High School Musical,” have alluded to gay characters. But “Andi Mack,” which became a network hit after its April debut, is the first Disney franchise to center a story line around a major character coming out as gay.

I'm really confused about this. My kids watch this show and I've IMDB'd it and as the first season wraps up, the story line shows Andi (the main character) really likes Joshua, who broke up with his girlfriend, Amber. So I'm really lost as to how the main character is gay. From what I can gather, Andi's parents had her secretly and when they were really young and Andi ends up being raised by her grandmother, Cici (Cecilia), while being told that Bex, her older sister, is actually her mother. She also ends up meeting her father in season 1 as well. 

Season 2 starts tonight with an hour long episode. We'll be watching it because I like the show.
