Executive Producer Latoya Raveneau says her team has implemented a “not-at-all-secret gay agenda” and is regularly “adding queerness” to children’s programming.
TRANSCRIPT:
I love Disney’s content. I grew up watching all of the classics. They have been a huge, informative part of my life. But the same time, I had worked at small studios for most of my career and I had heard whispers that “They won’t let you show this a Disney show.” And I’m like “Okay.” So, I was little sus [SIC: suspicious] when I started. But then my experience was bafflingly the opposite of what I had heard on my little pocket of Proud Family Disney TVA. The showrunners were super welcome. Meredith Roberts and the leadership over there have been so welcoming to my not-at-all-secret gay agenda. So I felt like maybe it was that in the past, but I guess something has happened, cause they have turned it around and are going hard. And all of that momentum and that sense that I don’t have to be afraid to have these two different characters kiss in the background. I was basically adding queerness. If you see anything queer in the show… no one would stop me, and no one was trying to stop me.
