“I have sex with people different from me”: On “Broad City,” Ilana’s sexuality continues to defy neat labels by Jenny Kutner at Salon
What have you been reading/writing this week? Tell us in the comments!
Ooooh nice! The Broad City one sounds awesome! I can’t believe I haven’t actually seen the show yet. Also, it would be cool if a male character was written just like the Ilana character. I would love to see more male characters portrayed as being sexually fluid, I mean I know there are some, but more would be nice. It would just be great to see equal male and female representations of sexual fluidity and equal male and female representations who are truly not fluid.
