Esperanza is sitting front and center, though she's slightly nervous even though she seems rather determined. She takes a deep breath and begins.
So, I'm just going to come out and say it because it's just...easier if I just say it. And I'd rather it came out from my own mouth and not from some estupido commentator making assumptions.
I'm gay. Okay? Gay. I am attracted to women. I've never been attracted to men. Teddy is my best friend and nothing more. Okay? Now everyone knows and we're all on the same page.
Wow, that was both a lot harder and a lot easier than I thought it would be. She blushes and scratches the back of her head. I guess one plus is that neither of my parents watch this show, because they're muggles.
She pauses, realizing what she's just admitted and that she can't really take it back. She slowly sits back down, her smile faded.
I've kept that to myself since I was 14 years old. Well, not to myself, some friends and my family, but still.
She thinks a moment, blinking and trying not to be emotional or stupid.
I don't know what I was worried about except...well, I didn't want to be the GAY Latina Muggleborn Prosecutor. But, you can't really change who you are. This is who I am, and I'm proud of that. I don't want to hide anymore.
So, I'm not going to. I'm Esperanza Xochitl Pizarro, and I'm a proud gay woman.
She smiles at the camera and nods.
Thanks for listening.
She takes out her wand and taps the camera off.
