The Lumity Kiss, One Year Later

Saw a few posts marking the one-year anniversary of the kiss between Luz Noceda and Amity Blight (aka “Lumity”) in The Owl House season 2 episode “Clouds on the Horizon”. Quite a cultural moment for animation and LGBT representation in mass media, particularly for the Disney behemoth. They fed the fandom with this one.

This moment, among others, netted The Owl House a 2023 nomination for a GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Kids and Family Programming (Animated), even though it went to Netflix’s Dead End: Paranormal Park. I honestly wish that GLAAD Media Awards would allow for a first, second and third place winner for each category, now that they’ve expanded the nominee list for many categories to ten entries.

But still, Dana Terrace can say that she expanded Disney’s boundaries.
