Brigette knows there's no "right" way to come out, but the way that coming out is portrayed on TV is often not an accurate reflection of a queer person's coming-out experience. With Atypical's Casey, Brigette loves having the opportunity to provide a different sort of story. "I'm queer, and I feel that for a lot of queer youth, there's not a lot of nuanced examples of queerness on TV when it comes to teenagers," she explained to Vulture. "A lot of the time, someone will come out as gay and it's about the coming-out story and then they're gay. We have such an opportunity with Casey to be really gentle with that story and to give the characters a chance to figure it out and flail."
