TSR also said that ‘Raven-Symone, who came out as a lesbian in 2013 after the legalization of same-sex marriage, revealed during a recent appearance on the Pride podcast that Disney Channel executives asked whether she was interested in having her “Raven’s Home” character identify as a lesbian in the reboot.’

‘You know what, 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,’ Raven-Symone said.

‘And the reason I said no wasn’t because I wasn’t proud of who I was, or I didn’t want to represent the LGBTQ+ community in any way.’

Someone said: ‘Everyone know raven Baxter was boy crazy. Keep it that way,’ and a follower said: ‘I understand, Raven Baxter was very much in love with her man Devon 🤣’

One fan posted this: ‘Good for you Raven. Representation is important, but not necessary in every situation!’ and a commenter said: ‘Good . Stop trying to change storylines . It didn’t fit her character . Raven Baxter was boy crazy lol.’

One fan posted this: ‘Not every movie/tv character has to change because of today’s norm,’ and a follower said: ‘What’s going on trynna push this on kid shows !! I’m glad she declined.’
