So many of our favorite Disney Channel stars have grown to truly inspire us over the years. Many of those inspiring stars identify as members of the LGBTQIA+ community! Over the years, stars that we grew to know as children and teens have grown up to be adults who know themselves and are living their fullest, most authentic lives. 

Stars like Miley Cyrus, Raven-Symone, Joey Pollari, and so many more have inspired so many fans because of their advocacy, allyship, and their proud identities as members of the LGBTQIA+ community. Not only have they opened up about their journeys of coming out in the public eye, but they have gone on to be inspirations to fans who grew up watching them on the small screen. 

As it’s Pride Month, there’s no better way than to celebrate some of the boldest Disney Channel alums by looking back at those who have proudly discussed their identity as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community! To read some of their stories and see the stars, check out the rest of the gallery!
