This week, Gretchen returns to Ladies First to help Elizabeth pick apart the SDCC 2017 Supergirl cast interview fiasco. We discuss the interview in detail, the fallout, and what responsibilities celebrities have when interacting with queer fans. Buckle up kids, this one is an extra long episode! There was a lot to cover, as we’re sure you’re all aware.

Special thanks to Tumblr user Bex for allowing us to use parts of her excellent summary of the ill fated interview!
