    illegible: Out of Office - Business Travel Re: Melissa Benoist Alienating LGBT Fans of
 SupegirInbox x

 o whom it may concern,
 During the Supergirl cast's first day at San Diego Comic Con, your client Melissa Benoist exhibited some
 behavior that deeply upset a large portion of her LGBT fanbase as well as supporters of Supergirl in
 general. It is not my intention to defame Melissa or spew mindless hate; her words and actions today made
 a noticeable portion of her audience feel not only uncomfortable but also unwelcome as far as supporting
 her role as Kara on Supergirl
 Melissa openly, on a live video stream, participated in singing a song with Jeremy Jordan and other cast
 members that aggressively mocked the concept of Melissa's character having romantic feelings for Katie
 McGrath's character Lena Luthor. The relationship between these characters, named 'Supercorp' by
 Supergirl fans, was made an enormous joke by the star of this show. Melissa, Jeremy, and the other cast
 members at Comic Con were singing and yelling about how Kara Danvers and Lena Luthor would never be
 more than friends, shouting at the top of their lungs that those two female characters would never see each
 other in a romantic light in their whole lives. They danced and clapped about the incomprehensibility of a
 woman loving another woman, save for Katie McGrath and David Harewood who appeared uncomfortable
 in their already isolated positions behind the couch that the rest of the cast was situated on.
 The song celebrating how ridiculous the concept of female best friends eventually dating each other finally
 died down, and Jeremy Jordan said, "l think I'm going to get destroyed for what l just did. I debunked
 Supercorp." In response, Melissa Benoist said, "It was pretty brave.
 Is bravery making fun of girls of all ages who see themselves in the characters on a TV show that
 brands itself as feminist? Is bravery spitting in the faces of non-heterosexual women who find
 safety and enjoyment in the relationship between Kara and Lena? Is bravery yelling and singing to
 young girls who are unsure of their sexualities that there is no way someone could ever fall in love
 with their best friend and have it mean something besides being the butt of a joke?

 On behalf of LGBT women specifically, I am incredibly disappointed. Watching Melissa make fun
 of people who see a blossoming relationship between Kara and Lena was hurtful to the point that
 many are unsure of whether or not we can enjoy her show again. For someone who claims
 feminism and empowerment, Melissa let down a lot of supporters today by being passive and
 participatory in an act of disrespect and humiliation initiated by her castmates. Watching that
 video for the first time felt like a personal attack, like Melissa Benoist and the cast of Supergirl
 were standing around me on a stage and hurling insults to the tune of a song. I was appalled
 shocked, embarrassed, and hurt by what I saw Melissa do on Saturday.
 This email is not about 'shipping' or who I want to end up with who. It isn't about which
 characters I like more or what Kara's sexuality is. It is about how your client, who has exhibited
 awareness of the LGBT following of the show, blatantly made a mockery of non-heterosexual
 women during an interview and caused a large amount of Supergirl viewers to question our place
 in the fanbase seeing as the lead actor of our show turned romantic feelings between two women
 into a hurtful joke. She is a public figure who supposedly represents feminist ideals, and shouting
 her disapproval of women loving women on screen made many women and younger girls feel
 humiliated, disliked, and unsafe as far as remaining a part of Melissa's fanbase.
 As an actress myself, I absolutely feel honored when someone relates to a character l play or feels
 inspired by something I've done. Art is made to be interpreted by many, and as an actress Melissa
 has greatly disappointed Supergirl fans who interpreted her relationship with Lena as one full of
 love, admiration, and support. The message she sent with her behavior is one she needs to think
 about with emphasis on LGBT youth
 I am writing this because I want Melissa, who many young girls look up to, to know what her
 words and actions mean to marginalized people. I am incredibly glad that I am not a fifteen year
 old lesbian who watches Supergirl. I feel lucky that I have been judged for my sexuality in the past
 so that the first time I got made fun of wasn't by a celebrity that I look up to. If I were a young girl
 who had romantic feelings for her friend, I would feel completely and utterly shattered based on
 what I saw today. At 19 years old, I had yet to feel as singled out and invalidated by an actor
 before today

 In sending this, I don't expect or desire anything besides for your client, Melissa Benoist, to see
 how much this decision of hers has negatively affected members of her fanbase as well as fans of
 Supergirl in general
