Wendie Malick did not know ahead of time that a character on her Disney show The Owl House was bisexual, but she is happy about the development.

Disney's Pixar Studios previously introduced its first gay character in the short film Out. “I found out from reading the script that they sent me and I thought ‘well that’s interesting,’” Malick told Collins. “It’s a very diverse group behind this cartoon and I can’t say that I was surprised.
