Raven-Symone: Raven’s Home characters don’t have to be gay | Celebrities – Pennsylvanianewstoday.com
Raven-Symone insisted that her “Raven’s Home” character was “not necessary” to be a lesbian.
The 35-year-old comedy actress replayed the role of Raven Baxter in the series in 2017. She admitted that she had a “conversation” with the Disney producer about whether she wanted her alter ego to reflect her real-life sexuality.
She said, “There was a conversation before the series started and I was asked,’Would you like to make Raven Baxter a lesbian?’ And I said, no. I said no.”
Sitcom’s star, who appeared as a lesbian in 2013, is a true reflection of who’s stance, not because she was “not proud” of her sexuality, but because she didn’t feel like drawing a character as gay. She claimed to be.
In the “Pride” podcast, she added: “I said no not because I wasn’t proud of who I was, nor because I didn’t want to represent the LGBTQ + community. Baxter is Raven Baxter is Raven Baxter.
She states: “I had no reason to change her humanity to suit the actress who played her. And Raven Baxter is the character I was proud to play. She’s straight and cisgender. But I don’t care. Let her have her moment. “”
Despite her reservations about her character becoming a lesbian, Raven was very welcome to the shortage of men in her character’s life.
She said, “She was divorced, but I wasn’t worried about saying’I don’t have a boyfriend.’”
“Raven’s Home” is a reboot of the legendary Disney Channel sitcom “Raven’s So Raven”.
“That’s So Raven” first aired between 2003 and 2007 and set the record for Sitcom, the longest-running Disney Channel to date.
The restart of the series is an adult Raven Baxter and his best friend Chelsea Daniels (played by Annelies Van der Pol) who travel together as a divorced single mother who discovered that Raven’s son inherited her mental abilities. Continue to.
