Riverdale fame Lili Reinhart has been excited about Disney's new animation The Owl House as it features a bisexual lead. Lili came out as bisexual in June and revealed that she’s glad the character of Luz Noceda in The Owl House now exists. In June, the actor came out as a bisexual, revealing that her peers had known her sexual orientation for years.

She hadn't gone public for fear of being manipulated to get publicity, as her major relationships were with men. However, Reinhart hoped that the creation of the bisexual Luz Noceda in The Owl House would promote understanding among others.

During an interview with BBC, the actor revealed that it is important to normalise the issue as she feels in cinema and TV, the characters are usually gay or straight, and there's not a lot of bisexual characters and it must be normalised. Further explaining about it, she said that there are a lot of bisexual people, including her. And she said that earlier, she always felt that people were going to invalidate what she was saying by telling her that she was 'going through a phase'.

Lili added that she hopes that young people now have the resources to embrace their sexuality and identity. She also revealed that she hopes people know they have outlets and communities that are now so willing to support young people in the decision-making process, and there's a lot of open arms out there.
