I just feel very comfortable and confident in my life.
No one asks straight people about their journey of discovery, she noted.
She continued, As far as what people deserve to know?
Sasheer Zamata as Jennifer Kale and Alice Wu-Gulliver as Ali Ahn in ‘Agatha All Along’.Chuck Zlotnick/2024 MARVEL.
They dont deserve anything.
I feel very fortunate so far.
I have fans who are good about respecting my privacy, and I hope that continues.
I kept getting cast as queer women, she said.
I played a lesbian onHome Economics.
I played a lesbian onWoke.
I played a lesbian onTuca & Bertie.
A lesbian onLast O.G.
I kept getting these roles.
And this is before I myself was figuring out my identity.
I was like, Whoa, what are these casting directors seeing that Im not seeing?
She added, Thats what conservatives joke about all the time.
Theyre like, Oh my God, [Hollywood is] turning everyone gay.
She is next slated to star as sorceress Jennifer Kale in Marvels much-anticipatedWandaVisionspinoff,Agatha All Along.
It feels very appropriate.
