Lesbians, we have been summoned. Agatha All Along’s Kathryn Hahn has spoken about the “love” she has for the “lesbian army” behind her – and fans couldn’t be happier.
Appearing on Watch What Happens Live, Kathryn was asked: “Do you realise you have a lesbian army ready to fight on your behalf?”
In response, she replied: “I feel like the Joan of Arc. Yes, I do and I appreciate and love. I love an army behind me.”
Marvel’s hit show Agatha All Along has gained something of a cult following within the queer community following its portrayal of sapphic women front and centre. The show featured the first lesbian kiss in the Marvel Cinematic Universe when Kathryn kissed none other than queer icon Aubrey Plaza.
Alongside the show’s sapphic storyline, Agatha All Along featured a number of queer actors including Heartstopper’s Joe Locke and Sasheer Zamata.
Fans quickly flocked to Kathryn’s latest interview, praising the actor for acknowledging the love and support from the lesbian community. “It’s SO refreshing to see an actress smile so brightly and acknowledge us like that 😭💜 this woman is a gem,” one user wrote.
“It’s me, I’m lesbians,” another commented under a clip of the interview.
This is not the first time that Kathryn has amplified the queer storyline in the show. In an interview with Radio Times, she said that she was proud of the show for “normalising […] queerness and women of different ages and different races”.
