Summary
April knows she is a lesbian, she's even okay with it despite her bigoted community. But that doesn't mean she can come out. An in-depth in-canon character analysis of April Stevens, the Christian gay girl so many of us remember being. She crushes hard on girls and only girls. But nobody can know her secret. That is, until Sterling Wesley comes breezing back into her life with a kiss and so many dreams of a life together open and out.
Note
I was raised aggressively Christian and I know what performative religion feels like when you believe in God and you're in the closet. April Stevens is one of the only characters I have ever seen to be in the closet because she chooses to be and to live her life loving God and herself and hating her circumstances. Let's just say, I can relate.
