Enter for a chance to win An Andi Mack Friendship Bracelet Making Kit! This story arc is a first for Disney Channel; it’s the first time the channel has depicted a character’s journey to self-discovery as a gay individual. Too many teenagers coming to this realization have felt alone in the past, and some have tried to hurt themselves. This part of the messaging in the show gives me hope for our future, more acceptance, less bullying with everyone!
