Lili Reinhart Is Happy To See More Sexualities Portrayed In Media


The ‘Riverdale’ star – who recently announced she was bisexual – is thrilled to see shows on the Disney Channel and others talking about the subject.

Asked about Owl House, which features Disney’s first openly bi character, she told TMZ: ”I think also the Pixar movie ‘Onward’ did that as well. I think there’s a gay character in that, I’m not quite sure … but yeah, it’s time to show what the real world looks like, even on the Disney Channel.

The world is hopefully turning in that direction where it’s not such a taboo. The more it’s seen in the media the better for kids to feel like they can come out into the world … There’s a lot of loving people out there so hopefully they’ll embrace that community.”

Meanwhile, Lili previously confessed she has known ”full well” that she is bisexual from a ”young age” and insists her sexuality has been ”no secret” for her close friends all her life, despite only announcing it publicly recently.

She said: ”I knew full well that I was attracted to women from a young age. I felt that since I’ve exclusively been in hetero-normative relationships, it would be too easy for any outsider, especially the media, to vilify me and accuse me of faking it to get attention. That’s not something I wanted to deal with. But to my close friends, and those in my life, my bisexuality has been no secret.”

Lili came out in a post on her Instagram Story, in which she showed her support for a protest taking place in West Hollywood for members of the LGBTQ community who are in support of Black Lives Matter.

Promoting the event, she wrote: ”Although I’ve never announced it publicly before, I am a proud bisexual woman. And I will be joining this protest today.”
