All Lbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgenr, etc. You gay? That eloquent haiku, scrawled on a ffee cup, is one of the first, albe clumsy, attempts by “Frh Off the Boat” character Nile (Luna Blaise) to figure out what means to live as a gay dividual.

He reveals the feelgs to his close iend Buffy (Sofia Wylie) an emotnal scene, but do not actually label himself as gay. “First and foremost, wasn’t jt a, ‘Hey, I’m gay, ’ wasn’t that nversatn.

Osr is an out and proud gay man who is fortable his sk — and rehgly, everyone around him is as well — spe the fact that that Jsi’s pri is a ltle hurt when she realiz she never really was a relatnship wh Osr. In many ways, the ia that Jsi don’t realize the guy she thought she was datg llege is actually gay says a lot more about her than do about him. We always knew that we wanted to brg Jsi’s ex-boyiend and that she didn’t know that he was gay.
