There’s gonna be days and days of delirious fangirling and brilliant brittanalysis and riotous reveling in our dream come true BUT right now I want to thank thank thank Naya Rivera, a young actress in her early twenties, hired on to Glee to be background eye candy, who had a glorious instant connection with Heather Morris, another new hire for background eye candy/dance coach.
Out of this magic manic madcap friendship sprang Brittana, recognized and tinhatted and celebrated by 10,000 lesbians and bisexual and questioning and curious women and girls. (And btb a whole passel of other discerning folk too!) Together Heya and the fandom wove and cultivated and created and demanded Brittana! Brittana, who have meant so much to soooo many.
Of the official glee people, it was Naya Rivera who first publicly proposed that Santana and Brittany were soul mates, not just a meta one line hot sizzling scissor lezzie joke. Bless you, Naya, for your courage and clarity. You are our One True Captain, and have our hearts and respect to infinity and beyond.
RIP, Naya Rivera. RIP.
