Sasha Speaks About "The Gay"

The Advocate.com spoke to Sasha, and what she had to say made our hearts beat faster:

There seem to be subtle winks to the show’s lesbian fans, like Jane goes undercover at a lesbian bar, the episode where you’re in bed and Jane asks Maura, “Are we having a sleepover, or is this your way of telling me you’re attracted to me?” All those little insidery winks that lesbian fans always pick up on.

Well, I think that if Jane were open to it, I think Maura would absolutely experiment because she’s just a little bit more open-minded in that way. But Jane would never. She’s so straight.

Jane doesn’t even like to hear you talk about the people that you’re attracted to. She’ll say, “I’m gagging in my mouth now.”

Yeah. It’s true.

When the show premiered it set a record as the highest-rated debut for a commercial cable series and I think the second-highest for basic cable all over. Do you think the ratings would drop if Maura or Jane did come out as gay?

I don’t think so. I really don’t think so.

Have you ever played the Rizzoli & Isles lesbian drinking game?

[Laughs] I haven’t. I do know of it and I would like to play it but I haven’t.
