Maybe I haven’t said it, but I’m super queer. She also falls in love with Amity, her enemy-turned-friend-turned-lover. I’m not being myself on this show, I’m being a character. My dream and all I’d worked tirelessly for since the age of 6 was suddenly at risk by my being…true to myself,” Alyson wrote for Teen Vogue.
Ultimately, Alyson did end up getting fired from a children’s show because executives allegedly felt they were “unsafe” to be around children.

In other cases, viewers have criticized the studio for coding its villains as being gay, conflating gayness with evil, or going so over the top as to be insultingly stereotypical, pigeonholing an entire community. But that has never been the way I think of myself,” Josie wrote in a piece for Time.
She continued, “In the past, I’ve halfway corrected people by telling them I identify as LGBTQ.
I was like, ‘Oh -- that’s why I don’t feel straight and I don’t feel gay. In a candid essay, Josie shared her truth, which was different than what many people had believed.

“When the song came out, everybody got the idea that the song was a big LGBTQ+ anthem song and I found myself in this position where everyone thought I was queerbaiting,” she told Gay Times.
I was afraid I wouldn’t be accepted, that I would be embarrassed, that the fans who knew me from the time when I acted in a Disney show would be confused.
