In a new interview with BET.com, Issa Rae talks about a bevy of topics, most of which were about her hit HBO show, Insecure. 

On Insecure, the show notably tackled a storyline in which Molly (Yvonne Orji) dated a man who had a sexual experience with another man.

Talking about that storyline, Rae said, “…we wanted to start a conversation. This is something I discuss with my friends. Ten years ago, I remember  telling my friends, ‘I’m desynthesized (sic) the construct of Black masculinity  and I’m desynthesized (sic) to bisexuality.’ We have so many friends who are bisexual or gay and I was like, ‘I don’t think I would trip if a guy I was dating said he had messed with another guy if, in my mind, he still identified as an alpha male.’ And they were like, “Well, he still f**ked another dude, so he’s gay.” I just thought that was an interesting conversation. Then the writers brought it up and noted that while some people agreed and some people did not, any conversation like that that sparked a debate we had to put it in on the show.

She also said that she wants to tackle transgender issues on the show. “It’s just figuring out the right way to do that. I think so many other shows are doing a great job without feeling like it’s shoehorned and it fits in naturally. For us, it’s just about finding the most natural way. There’s so many topics we wanted to explore but, at the end of the day, we are just trying to tell a good story without anything feeling forced. It’s something I’d love to tackle. We almost did it this season but it didn’t fit within the story we were trying to tell. Hopefully, we’ll see what season three will hold.”

Does she already have in mind when she wants the HBO show to end? She says yes! “Yeah, I have an idea of when I want to end it but I don’t know how it’s going to end. I definitely know when I want it to end. [Laughs] But I can’t say or HBO will kill me!”

Created by Issa Rae and Larry Wilmore, Insecure follows the friendship of two black women as they deal with their own real-life flaws while attempting to navigate different worlds and cope with an endless series of uncomfortable everyday experiences. Issa Rae, Yvonne Orji, Jay Ellis and Lisa Joyce, Natasha Rothwell and Amanda Seales star in the show.
