Rebecca openly identified as a bisexual woman and talked about how the inclusion of the LGBT themes in the show come from her experiences and how important it is for LGBT kids to be able to hear these stories and be validated in ways they often aren’t. She wants to let kids with similar experiences and identities that they exist and are valid

She said this at the SDCC panel, btw. I was watching a stream and live posting what I heard on it, which is why I didn’t source it. Here’s a recording of the panel, you’ll be able to find this answer somewhere on there, I don’t know the exact time right now but its toward the end
