When she came out a couple years ago , I was pretty excited.

Of course, I had to listen. Around 10 minutes in, Ali talks about coming out and how playing Betty on Bomb Girls, specifically, made her realize who she was:. I had been gay-for-pay for many years playing many many queer roles and I just never really got it. I was like, wow, I really connect to these characters in such a deep way. And then Bomb Girls really was the final thing.

It was like myself delivered to myself in a very gentle way. And after I had finished that show and had a moment to breathe I was like, oh my God, this is a real thing.

I really hope these conversations she has with show creators open their minds and enlighten them to the state of heterocentricity on TV. I love that we have a queer actor who understands this and accepts the responsibility to get our stories out there.

She is the out actress of our dreams Around 10 minutes in, Ali talks about coming out and how playing Betty on Bomb Girls, specifically, made her realize who she was: I had been gay-for-pay for many years playing many many queer roles and I just never really got it. Thank goodness for Bomb Girls.
