Disney+ has announced their “Pride Collection” list of LGBTQ+ stories and characters that are showcased on the streaming service for Pride Month.  It’s a good quantity of shows, including new offerings such as “Glee” and “Love, Victor.”  However, at least three important series have been left out.

1.  Andi Mack – the first Disney Channel show with an out gay character, Cyrus Goodman.  He was the first character to say “I’m gay” on any Disney-branded platform.  He also had a pioneering relationship with another gay character, TJ Kippen.  Most of the episodes are missing on Disney+.

2.  The Lodge – the first Disney Channel UK series with an out gay character, Josh.  The entire series is available on Disney+, but it was not listed for Pride.

3.  Loki – a famous bi and genderfluid character who has been featured in comics since 1962, then in Marvel movies and the Loki TV series which can still be seen on Disney+.  But it’s not on the list.
