I can't BELIEVE that was the first lesbian sex scene on network TV. I feel so dumb for not having noticed the milestone.

Maybe you joined me in assuming that the end of "Under Your Spell" in OMWF qualified? I realize they didn't actually show anything, but if my parents could pick up on what was happening, the implications weren't exactly hidden.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Kennedy was Latina? I missed that.

I knew that the actress is, but I never thought the character was portrayed as Latina.

Especially since Chloe (I think) was the designated Latina potential. The one who killed herself, right?

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Ah, the revelations. Kennedy is hispanic, the first lesbian sex scene on netowrk television--and all this post-show.

I'm not sure the character was given any specific ethnicity.

The decision to make Willow a lesbian instead of bisexual was problematic, as well, since Willow was clearly attracted to her boyfriend Oz in high school. It would have been more realistic and more groundbreaking if Willow had come out as bisexual (since that is never done on television), or at least had a discussion with Tara or Buffy about whether she was bisexual or a lesbian, instead of just pretending bisexuality didn't even exist.

Sigh. YES. Still kind of irks.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Ah, the revelations. Kennedy is hispanic, the first lesbian sex scene on netowrk television--and all this post-show.

I think that's all kind of the beauty of it...no one thought much about it because it was all so normal.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I thought Kennedy was supposed to be East Coast old money. Which is unlikely, if you're Latina.

Yes. Need more bisexuality on network (or any!) TV.
