"I ponder we all collectively shared a desire to make something that did feel different than other shows," Sara exclusively told E! News. "I'm not trying to shade any queer content. I think it all belongs where it belongs and it's awesome for all those shows to exist, but especially with [co-creator] Clea [DuVall], one of the things we have very much in common is that there was this duality of organism in the closet and really gay a
