“They're making Rhane Sinclair, the devout Catholic who was even raised by a priest, in a church, into a lesbian? Really?”
Media tends to lump in underrepresented minorities into one character as a doggy bone for those wanting more diversity. If they can fit as many minority traits into one lead character, they won’t have to be so diverse in future productions. They also tend to stereotype strong Latinas as lesbian because of the societal belief that independent women must hate men and therefore must only be attracted to women
