opened up about her sexuality on Monday while praising the series The Owl House for its representation of queer characters. Whitman voices Amity Blight, a lesbian witch, on the show.“Just taking a moment to say I am SO proud to be even a small part of a show like The Owl House,” she tweeted Monday. “Being pansexual myself, I wish I had such incredible characters like Amity and Luz in my life when I was growing up.
Queer representation is so so so important :,) keep it up world! #TOH,." She followed the post with another one clarifying what she meant, for those who were unfamiliar with the label: “I know ppl might be unfamiliar with what pansexual means; for me it means I know I can fall in love with people of all genders,” she wrote.
