Actress Raven-Symoné Rejected Disney’s Plea to Make Her Character Lesbian in ‘That’s so Raven’ Reboot
In recent years, Disney has frequently promoted LGBT characters and storylines on their programming for children.
Raven-Symone, an outspoken member of the LGBT community, rejected Disney’s offer to make her character in a ‘That’s So Raven’ spinoff a lesbian.
The show is called “Raven’s Home” and is a spinoff of “That’s So Raven.”
Breitbart reported:
There was a conversation before the series started, and I was asked the question, ‘Would you like Raven Baxter to be a lesbian?’ And I said, no. I said no.
“The actress clarified that she declined the offer to make Raven Baxter a lesbian, not because she wasn’t proud of being gay herself,” Breitbart reported, “but because ‘Raven Baxter is Raven Baxter,’ and she didn’t feel the need to change who the character was in order to ‘fit the actress that played her.’”
