Hey everyone! Long-time lurker, first-time poster. As a lesbian, I was curious about how many out lesbians/woman-loving-women work on Broadway, on or offstage. Are there any that come to mind?

There was an old thread on this and someone gave a list including Andrew Rannells. That was pretty funny.

If you're thinking of seeing any of these women in action, don't miss Jenn Colella in Come From Away. Brilliant.

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

This might not be the best place to ask this, but the OP's username reminded me...if a trans man and a trans woman get together, are they a heterosexual couple? Is that the right term to use?
