Lucy Lawless

#she’s always been such a willing ally #it was her idea to kiss a transwoman onscreen in one episode. in the year 1996. to help combat social stigma #she’s a gift

Lucy flawless

The transwoman they had on the show was also an AIDS activist, and had AIDS herself… *and* in a time when there was MUCH greater social stigma around the disease. Lucy had her on, and kissed her on screen…during a time when people were still afraid of getting AIDS from kissing or from toilet seats.

They also had Alexis Arquette as a character on the show in a later season.

I love all the reblog facts!!!

The episode is 2×11, “Here She Comes Miss Amphipolis,” and the actress was Karen Dior.
