As long as people don’t know the difference [between gender identity and sexual orientation] I think it’s incredibly important that we keep showing it, and keep showing it in a relatable way. The thing that I love about Nomi and Amanita’s relationship–Nomanita, if you will–is it’s such a middle finger to anyone who has a more conservative view of what a relationship is supposed to look like. They have the healthiest relationship as a couple on the show, as far as honesty–like just across the board, completely. And they’re interracial, and they’re trans, and they’re lesbians. And so it’s this new way of looking at healthy love and saying it doesn’t have to look like what you were taught it’s supposed to look like. And I love that. I think it’s extremely important.
