During an interview with Van Lathan about her new movie, Union states that parents have thanked her for using this movie to open their eyes to how they are failing their LGBTQ children. Union goes on to claim, unprovoked, that she chose this role in an attempt to “get through to” one particular parent; then alludes to the parent being the real mother to Union’s step-child and trans person, Zaya.
Well, she’s not very subtle about that.
