“That great experience of being able to look at a moment that was actually 30 years ago and think: ‘I was a teenager then. What did my mom say about sexuality, race, class? What were the things that told me that maybe they were true or not? How insensitive? ‘”The actress reflected in a conversation with Regina King for Variety.
She continued: “No one spoke to me about sexuality when I was a teenager. I did not understand what homosexuality was. My grandparents did not explain it; my parents didn’t explain it. “
