DeBose has been paving the way for the community for some time, yet has still been asked to change at moments throughout her career. "As a queer woman of colour I've been asked to be more urban, as if my brand of Blackness wasn't quite Black enough. I think that's interesting," she tells Vogue. "I've also been asked to be more butch, which is not a bad thing. But sometimes you'd like to be able to bring your sheer humanity to a role. I don't think roles for queer women have to always present in one specific way."
The "Hamilton" actor also urges all of us to step up in the ongoing rights for gay, nonbinary, and transgender humans. "So when you see something, say something, raise your voice. Write to your government officials about how you would want to be treated in the world. Because if you wouldn't want it to happen to you, I can tell you something, we don't want it to happen to us, you know?"
