Laura recently came across a tweet that went viral, calling some Disney Channel characters homophobic, including her own Austin & Ally character Ally.

She retweeted the post and gave her reasoning as to why Ally is NOT a homophobe.

“Ummmm no, no, no!!!!! Ally is definitely an ally!!!! It’s literally in her name!!!! Also, she had to be an ally because Austin and Dez definitely had a romantic relationship….” she wrote.
