The network hopes the scene will provide “positive role models for children — and adults — watching.”
How about we take this to the next level?

Upcoming scenes this season will follow Cyruss’ coming out process and how he decides to break the news to his girlfriend Iris.

Low-IQ, ignorant, uneducated, narrow-minded, reich-wing, Russia-loving, Trump-supporting, Bible-thumping, Repugnican heads exploding in 4… 3… 2…

I always hated watching the Disney channel.for it’s over the top bad acting and canned laughter every 20 seconds..this seems to be different handled with care and the acting is pretty good…about time!
I used to get a toothache watching Disney…time for a change with this…
