Is ‘Agatha All Along’ the Gayest Thing Disney Has Ever Made?
In press for Agatha All Along, the stars said that the show would result in a “gay explosion” which is mighty interesting verbiage to be attached to a Disney property.

Three episodes later, and that foreplay continues: Though Rio is not part of the Coven that makes it onto the Witches Route to try and rebuild Agatha’s power, the mysterious assassin rejoins the team – and sparks fly.
Sharon Davies (Debra Jo Rupp) unfortunately kicked the witchy bucket at the close of episode three, sense the group has to summon a replacement Emerald Witch, which turns out to be Rio. After the latest trial for Alice Wu (Ali Ahn) leaves Teen (Locke) severely wounded, the group bond, and Agatha and Rio bond

Disney and Marvel continue to make progress in their films and shows by featuring more queer characters as either heroic or villainous characters. Agatha All Along makes its characters' sexuality a natural part of their lives that they're not afraid to hide, nor is it the focus of their individual journeys. One example is Agatha Harkness herself, who in Episode 4, almost nearly confirms is queer, most likely multi-attracted .
