Yes, it’s just figuring out the right way to do that. I think so many other shows are doing a great job without feeling like it’s shoehorned and it fits in naturally. For us, it’s just about finding the most natural way. There’s so many topics we wanted to explore but, at the end of the day, we are just trying to tell a good story without anything feeling forced. It’s something I’d love to tackle. We almost did it this season but it didn’t fit within the story we were trying to tell. Hopefully, we’ll see what season three will hold.”— Issa Rae to BET, when asked “Do you see the show tackling transgender issues?”

She really hasn’t dealt with lesbians either, but it’s a great show and she’s so talented, so I look forward to what she’ll come up with.

It is a great show – but Issa and Molly are both quite puritanical when it comes to sex…. a couple of times this season it was like gurl please.
