Every interest you have, if you go deep enough into it, will show up in your art. To drop “physics” to focus on “theatre” is missing the point.

I literally made him queer. And 💯s across the board. Modernizing this series started long ago. You just couldn’t see it. But you felt it. And you supported it. And, I witnessed it. And felt safe. Anything less for her. And I’m out out. I am completely out of your court.

Realizing your gay is a private process that can feel like you're diffusing an atomic bomb. One wrong revelation and your entire identity is in shambles. I remember in the 00s the hardest part was feeling like I could be gay and obnoxious or straight and grounded.
