Disney Channel’s Andi Mack is making history with the network’s first story line about a gay character coming out. In the Season 2 premiere, airing at 8 p.m. Friday night, Andi’s friend Cyrus (Joshua Rush) will begin his coming-out journey. 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 centre a storyline on a major character coming out as gay. Cyrus’s story isn’t the first groundbreaking move for Andi Mack.
