Disney's upcoming animated fantasy film 'Onward' will feature the first openly LGBTQ animated character of the production house, reported Fox News.
The voice for the character which is a cop will be given by Lena Waithe.
While Waithe is all set to lend her voice to the first-ever openly LGBTQ character, Disney has also featured other LGBTQ characters in their live-action films, Fox News stated in its report.
