MY COUSIN OTHER PERSON JUST
LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE AND GET A
LOT OF IT ABOUT THAT STORY

TO SEE THAT PERSON LIVE THEIR
LIFE SLOWLY AND SPEAKING, I
THINK WE'VE KIND OF SEEN BETTER
TO MAKE A SHIFT TO
THAT WHERE.

PERSON'S PART OF LGBTQ
COMMUNITY IT'S NOT LIKE SO MUCH
IN THE STORE ANYMORE IT'S
JUST LIKE SOMETHING THAT IT'S
THEY'RE LIKE YES AND YOU'RE

LIFE SO HOW DO YOU LGBTQ
STORIES AND REPRESENTATION IN
THE INDUSTRY ARE TODAY HOW DO
YOU THINK PEOPLE ARE TELLING
THEM. AND JUST WHERE DO YOU
THINK WE NEED TO GO FROM HERE.

I THING I THINK THERE JUST
NEEDS TO BE
JUST MORE MORE MORE MORE EVERY
DAY I MEAN I KNOW SPECIFICALLY
FOR MYSELF.
I DON'T COME FROM A LOT OF
UPPER TOO.
>> UNITY OR PRIVILEGE IN A WAY
THAT
YOU KNOW.
>> A LOT OF THINGS ARE
ACCESSIBLE TO ME GROWING UP AND
SO.
>> THE SMALL.
>> MOMENTS OPPORTUNITIES WHERE
I SAW SOMEONE LIKE ME ON
TELEVISION WHERE YOU TEACH, AND
THEY CHANGED
MY LIFE IN SO MANY WAYS AND SO
IF WE HAVE JUST.
YOU KNOW THE SMALL AMOUNT OF
STORIES THAT
WE HAVE THE TV TODAY FOR THE
LGBTQ PLUS COMMUNITY IF WE HAVE
MORE THAN WE CAN CHANGE
MORE PEOPLE LIVES AND IMPACT
