CW television showSupergirlhas recently seen the theatrical role of Alex Danvers , Supergirl ’s foster sis , come out as gay and , in recent episodes , establish a relationship with Maggie Sawyer . A billet previously hashtagged as # sanvers , and now established on the show . It has been both welcomed and criticised , as such thing always are , but here ’s an example regarding why this thing does really matter .
Mary is a funny store clerk work in Fort , Indiana . She describes herself as " super duper gay . “Yesterday on Twitter , she wrote about her experience that day .
So , I need to distinguish you all what happened in the store today . It ’s probably the unmarried expectant consequence I have ever experienced working here .
