'I don’t understand how this is possible, but I’ve never played a queer character until now.' - FinArgus
MORENO: I was always interested in storytelling. I grew up wanting to be a writer. That was my main passion, my main goal. I went to university for a creative writing and journalism program, but I felt like I was on a conveyor belt with everyone else. I wasn’t sure if what I was being taught was actually going to be utilized in any sort of tangible way. So I dropped out and moved to New York and started modeling, then I moved to L.A.
ARGUS: Yeah. It’s about following queer people’s lives in the midst of their love, drama, romance, and messiness. ARGUS: It’s such beautiful trans storytelling. It feels honest and authentic. It’s so important to see trans people cast in trans roles. MORENO: Yeah. You also get to see her dating the hottest men possible, and them not giving a fuck about her transness. I wish I could’ve had her experience, which brings me to another point. While it’s beautiful to see queer people thriving, the stories of them struggling should still be told because that’s the most prevalent queer experience.MORENO: It’s nice to give a glimmer of hope, if you will, to the queer community and say, “This is possible, too. You can be happy. You can thrive.
ARGUS: Oh my gosh. That reminds me of an experience I had in high school where I was in the bleachers and people started chanting and making fun of me. But yeah, as queer people it’s really hard to get into those headspaces and tell those stories because most of the time we can relate to them deeply.
