You get to exhale now, Simon. You get to be more you than you have been in a very long time. You deserve everything you want.
“For us to showcase this character, who is a core member of the ensemble, who is not going anywhere, who is happy, who has friends, a chosen family that she loves and who is successful in her life, is something I never saw growing up on television. I never thought a happy ending could be for me. And now I’m playing someone who is out, who is bi and who is going to succeed.” - Stephanie Beatriz accepts the GLAAD Media Awards for Brooklyn Nine-Nine
