Degrassi actors on GSAs and LGBTQ issues

Stars of Degrassi talk about the banning of GSAs and the affect that playing queer characters has had on them. See story here: bit.ly/WBSCMd

[@1Hyorinmaru0]

Jordan should look like that forever...blonde hair, the piercings, everything...she is insanely gorgeous, and that style suits her so perfectly(: love Annie Clark and Jordan Todosey! Two of my favorite actresses playing two of my favorite characters! :D

[@nnej094221]

annie is awkwardly adorable.

[@HopAndLockDropSoppityPop]

I absolutely love this show. My whole life I've felt like something was wrong. I could never pinpoint it because I didn't know about ftm but I knew I wasnt a girl. I explained how I felt to my parents with help from Degrassi and they accepted me. So did my friends. Unfortunately, my big headed cousin doesn't get it. I've shown her episodes and she still refuses to act like I'm a guy. She constantly reminds me I'm physically a girl. It's that kind of behavior that got poor Adam thrown out of the

[@SPDcru]

lol my friend told me he liked LGBT burgers. When I told him it was actually called BLT burger and what LGBT meant, he freaked out and was like "This whole time I've been telling people I like gay burgers!!!"

[@MeganMustacheify]

I think, thanks to Degrassi, it's helped me come out and let more people know that I am in fact bisexual. My last girlfriend made me very happy indeed because I wasn't afraid to be seen with her as a couple and it's really relaxing knowing who I am(:

[@CaelinCatastrophe]

Jordan looks absolutely gorgeous with the blonde hair and piercings. I love her!

[@lexi219]

They can't mean that because Fiona definitely stands out and doesn't hide who she is. She is actually pretty upfront about her sexuality and proud to be who she is. I think the original poster just meant that Fiona is such a chill character that she doesn't come off as confrontational.

[@morgankimblel]

Adam helpled my best friend tyler (now skyler) come out as a MTF trans. He is actually going to do the surgery!

[@IXIChelseaIXI]

Jordy and Annie are both beautiful girls and I love their characters on Degrassi (: I never noticed that Jordan has a lip piercing!!

[@NolanisthePhantom]

Jordan's character helped me discover who I am. I was so confused for a long time then I watched Degrassi on Feburary 21st and came out to my mom as FtM right during My Body is a Cage (Part2). The first episode was My Body is a Cage(Part1). I just thank all of Canada for bringing these characters out, I would still be confused, and depressed if it wasn't for characters like Adam.(:

[@karan6]

man that scene with fitz/owen/adamn reminded me how good an intense season 10 was....season 11 started off super intense with the gang stuff but now its like teen soap opera-ish..

[@babytrumpet97]

Coming out was the best thing I ever did for myself. And I think everyone should, no matter how afriad you are. you wont regret it.

[@katherineryan9050]

I love Adam!

[@gabi3luvjb]

Santanna is the fearcest lesbian on tv

[@miamor513]

gabi corona glee!!

[@AversaG1]

A mainstream romance novel, "How To Grow A Woman" by Brenda Carol Green, has its main romance characters (man and woman) but what is really great about this mainstream book is that it strongly features a lesbian couple. Let's support this author. With enough sells her book may become a movie and have a very positive representation of a gay couple in a mainstream movie! Besides it's a great book and you will love it.

[@LiamRichie825]

They are both incredibly talented actresses and do excellent press because it's obvious that they are proud to play these characters.

[@sneekz07]

I don't think I even thought anything of that. When I realised she was might be gay was when she suspected Riley was gay and offered to beard for him.

[@Elementl19]

When did Jordan get all her piercings...I've never seen them..and when did she dye her hair? If looks really good but doesn't Adam have brown hair? I haven't watched Degrassi in awhile so..

[@SunyiSideUp]

Someone actually did say he was. The person you replied to was replying to someone who said "They aren't the first lesbians on Degrassi", which would imply that Adam is a lesbian. He is, however, the first transgender character on Degrassi.

[@reyazcassim1153]

what's on Jordan's lips???

[@pickle_spears]

Reyaz Cassim piercing

[@PaulieWalnuts_007]

Herpes

[@XxFirePandaxXxBVB]

And some people aren't attracted to the other gender! I'm gay, so sorry if this sounds a bit out there or weird but, we are who we are! It's not about what's down there it's about what's in the heart and soul of a person, sexuality or not.

[@elvis9]

@CoffeeXVictorain no one should be treated like this whether male or female.

[@myamonroe6425]

if i was jordan in that bathroom scene i would have been like "ummm.... i don't have to wiz i have to shit so go the fuck away"

[@SuuzieQ]

The scenes were probally shot way before she dyed her hair. And the piercings can me removed for a short period of time. Cuz she still has brown hair in the last season so :)

[@sixfootrise]

I think I might have a slight crush on Jordan

[@anniesm1]

Jordan's so pretty in blonde.

[@addafdafdaf4733]

Aaaah, I have the biggest crush on Jordan.

[@jakebluethunder]

Great interview!

[@AshleeisLegit]

jordans highs school is like 10 mins away from mine but i feel lke thats not special because so many people know people from degrassi here

[@morgrose5064]

1 question, If either of you two could date anyone from Degrassi, who would you date, Annie and Jordy?

[@hollywoodwerewolf]

One bully threw Adam over his shoulder, was about to hurl him across a hallway but he said "thank you" to his co-bully for holding open the door....even Canadian TV cretins are nice to each other on when doing cretinous things.

[@tessasonnie9211]

if you hear the theme song of degrassi you know it is from degrassi

[@h2ogurl1234]

Les and proud. To anyone who thinks it's a choice, it's really not

[@Zer0TheGhost]

I wish I could seriously play a part in degrassi :>! I love this show!

[@shortyyy22]

oh damn blonde hair looks soo good on her

[@lolcutepeoplez9]

lol i love Adams corrector my fav keeping it reel

[@10animallover10]

I totally agree with them. there's nothing wrong with people like that. I hate it when people put these kind of people in the dark. it are still people and you should respect each other! btw, I really like Degrassi too :D And Fiona is one of my fav characters^^ Along with Holly j. they and much more character have goen through such character development. really well made :) and teh series indeed is very good for teens to watch like they said :)

[@babyskb123]

Cassandra21041 that's cool you should be proud of who you are. People may think you are different. I'm cool with everybody though.

[@prescott0913]

I kinda wish Argiris and Shannon were there too.

[@naomimartinez4464]

I just love it!I mean I´m not judging boys but I think it´s cute that someone understands each other like this two girls!and is so relaxing to see them kissing eah other without being afraid!

[@XSuPeRxxsLiDeRX]

STOP LOOKING AT HER JORDY YOU MAKE HER NEVOUS

[@funboi2024]

Jordan and Annie r beautiful and i love both characters. What i hope to c next is a trans female.. Would love to c the interaction between adam and a trans woman. So he could have someone who knows how he feels. L

[@Sara5029]

I like Fiona much more since she came out, just like Annie said, she's much happier now:)

[@CaelinCatastrophe]

He's still around. He's dating Becky now, so we'll be waiting to see something happen with that.

[@YourWorldOurworld]

[@sneekz07]

What does this even mean...? Are lesbians supposed to shrink and not be seen, or what are you even saying here?

[@SandraMeland]

Woah, there, Jordan. Chill out, you're about to make me a lesbian.

[@QUEENOBSCURE]

@elvis9 I know that... But just saying, seeing how whole school[accept for the few] who do see him as woman..stood of stood back be all..WHAT THE HELL MEN! It still have been mean if they grabbed him and toss them out..to floor, but more dismissing way..Be it a boy or a girl..But at lease be less harmful..Forget what happens been so long but I believe they didn't get kicked out of school..as they should been..It seems bad message watchers of the show..

[@admirkovaci8921]

@Kayla Moss When I read this J w

[@rpl00xx]

Fadam's still my OTP.

[@ridore9]

I didn't get how when they found out she was a girl that they got even more aggressive. Do they beat women normally?

[@codesm96]

Adam the character is a Trans boy. Not a Cis girl. Also they kinda tried to show Adam what life is like being treated like one of the guys ironically, despite it being Transphobic targeted bullying which was wrong

[@HappyGigz]

Yay

[@sinnaaah]

Jordan is such a babe
