I don't think I've written about this show before, but "The Owl House" is an incredible animated series from Disney that is gay! Because let's be honest, that's why we watch children's cartoons. It's for that sweet queer content.
The first season covered how Luz, an imaginative Latina teen, finds a portal that leads her to the Boiling Isles. Here magic and witches and mystical creatures all exist! Just like in Luz's favorite stories. Over the course of the season Luz figures out how to perform magic even though she's a human, and befriends Eda the Owl Lady and her demon friend King.
During season 2 the gay gets cranked up! Luz's classmate Amity goes from being a frosty cooler girl to wanting to ask Luz to Grom (it's prom but you also fight monsters, don't worry about it). The fact that there was an explicitly queer crush in season 1 was already ground breaking, but they finally ask each other out in the middle of season 2! It's super cute, I hope that season 3 goes more into their relationship since we didn't see a ton of it after they started dating.
The show is queer in other ways, Luz is confirmed to be bisexual and definitely isn't gender conforming. Her Grom outfit is intentionally a mixture of a suit and a dress, and it looks fabulous. Other characters also have queer parents and in general it's super LGBTQ+ friendly. Anyways, if you like gay cartoons, you are sure to like this as well!
