Raven-Symoné, the former child star, was interviewed by Them earlier this month when she revealed why she didn’t want her character on “Raven’s Home” to be part of the LGBTQ community.

The 36-year-old actress, who identifies as nonbinary and married Miranda Maday in 2020, has starred in the “That’s So Raven” spinoff since 2017.

In the interview, Raven-Symoné stated, “I think Disney wanted her to be queer in the beginning, and I just didn’t feel comfortable doing that.”

She continued, “They were like, ‘Do you want Raven to be gay?’ I said, ‘Why?’ [And they said,] ‘Because you are.’ I said, ‘Bad, bad reason. That’s a bad reason.’”

The actress emphasized that her character Raven Baxter never exhibited any type of sexual identity situation in the past, adding, “I’m not being myself on this show; I’m being a character.”

Raven-Symoné shot to fame in the 2003 Disney Channel series “That’s So Raven”, playing the wacky titular character who gets into weird situations and who can see visions of the future.

The sitcom ended in 2007 but a sequel premiered 10 years later and is currently in its fifth season.

“Raven’s Home” follows Raven Baxter as she raises her two children after her divorce, alongside her best friend, Chelsea (Anneliese van der Pol).

When discussing her character’s sexuality, Raven-Symoné stated, “Raven Baxter’s not gay. No matter what the first four seasons looked like, with me and Chelsea sleeping in the same room and us raising a family together,” the former “The View” co-host continued.

“OK, that’s not the case. We are friends. Who sleep in the same room.”

The actress also pointed out that she didn’t believe Raven Baxter should be dating in the spinoff, stating, “It’s so funny because we’re working on the sixth season now, and I’m talking to the EPs and they’re like, ‘And you’re gonna start dating?’

“I’m like, ‘She don’t need to date either. She’s just gonna be nothing.’”

In 2017, Raven-Symoné revealed how she was shocked to learn that Disney Channel wanted her back on the air despite her sexual orientation.

She stated, “I was surprised they chose me! I was like, ‘I came out, I said all kinds of stuff… Look at y’all!’ Thank you Disney for understanding I’m a human.”

The “This Is My Time” singer also credited Disney for embracing who she is and who the kids are today, saying, “As we grow and as the network grows and as humanity grows, the kids are getting smarter and smarter!”

“You can’t lie to them. So, I give props to Disney for embracing who I am and who the kids are of today.”
