“Humbled and overwhelmed by the constructive response to Buck’s storyline. I’ve learn so a lot of your messages and I couldn’t be prouder.”

“If you’re one of many smaller group of individuals commenting on my posts about how this has ruined the present, I would love you to know that I actually don’t care. This can be a present about love and inclusion. It’s featured queer relationships from the very starting, together with a phenomenal Black lesbian marriage performed out by two of the very best actresses I’ve ever watched.”
Oliver added:
“If one different character discovering a brand new aspect to his sexuality and realising (sic) his bisexuality is your deal breaker — I worry you’ve missed your entire level of the present. You aren’t required to announce your departure.”
