Nixon’s support as an ally is incredibly important in growing acceptance of LGBT people. She has created fully dimensional representations of LGBT culture with story lines that are blended into the fabric of the show. Through meeting Zoe or seeing the wedding of Bianca and Reese millions of people everyday have come to better understand the lives of LGBT people.
Damon L. Jacobs and I spoke with Ms. Nixon backstage at the Emmys after she received the award. We had recently exchanged letters and my feedback from the legendary writer: "You're handwriting is even worse than mine!" Of course, hers wasn't bad at all. What a thrill!
