"It’s one thing to have lesbians on tv. It’s another to have black lesbians on tv. We’re talking about the square root of a minority here. I appreciated Maya’s character because she was not portrayed as the stereotypical black girl, nor was she overtly-sexual. She was just a beautiful, black woman and she happened to be in love with Emily Fields.

Queer women of color lost one of their only visible and identifiable characters. (I’m wrong, you say? There’s others? Name 3. I dare you.)"

BL: My absolute honest answer is that I have no idea who dies. I’m not in the finale, and the way I’ve always gotten my information about Maya is when I get the script. So I don’t know who “A” is; I don’t know who dies; I’ll be finding out with everyone else!
