“With all the fan fiction that exists out there, you have an entire queer community that are watching heterosexual love stories and coming up with their own stories between characters of the same sex. Give them something to feed off of and get excited about. There’s so much of that out there you would think there could be a real show dedicated to showing some different types of relationships and it doesn’t have to be marketed to the queer community, the gay community, the lesbian community, the trans community, obviously. Everybody would be able to find something in it if it was a well-written show. That’s entirely possible but it takes people to step into positions of power to bring that stuff about.”
