when i was a baby gay i had a huge crush on Darlene from Roseanne
they really tried to pretend this character was heterosexual
Didn’t we all? Also, Sara Gilbert realised she was a lesbian while dating her on-screen boyfriend, Johnny Galecki, so in my own head canon that’s what happened with Darlene, end of. Gay forever after. Like Steve Rogers has been claimed by the Bisexuals, Darlene Connor is forever of the generation of wlw who had their first big gay awakenings listening to Melissa Etheridge, Jill Soubule, and Sarah McLaughlan, wearing plaid and black nail polish, writing poetry and songs, and watching Daria in the afternoons.
