“Messiness was our watchword in the [writer’s] room,” Moore says.

So I hope that they feel like we have their back, because we do.

Way:I really hope that when queer people see this, they want to champion it.

They want to share it.

They want to talk about it with their friends and come to disagreements about the characters.

I hope people fight about this show, I hope they laugh about the show.

I hope it is just as chaotic and messy as queer people are.

And I feel like that’s how I process my life.

It doesn’t give in to the melodrama.

These are still real people, and there’s levity throughout all of it.

So I hope people can have fun watching it, and I really think they will.

Because there’s enough people here for everyone.
