TV is sort of catching up and it’s been very black and white what we’ve seen on the screen and very paranormative and patriarchal and I think that now that we’re exploring it, it’s something that’s being talked about which is great. And if we can have a dialogue about it, it can become more accepted. I think that that’s the aim of entertainment. I am glad that people are talking about it and that it’s sparked the conversation. I try to do my best each day to take it and run with it. I think for me at the end of the day, it’s a job and I just go in and I’m glad that Pete ’s written a real honest character. I don’t know that I feel a responsibility necessarily.
And the fact that there are members of the LGBT community, and friends of the community, that are feeling just pleased and happy to see a character on TV that is depicted in maybe a positive light, I think that’s great. I think it’s great that people are relating to Connor and other characters on the show on a lot of different levels.
