Cruel Summer’s twisting and turning first season finale, in the episode, it becomes clear that the character Mallory (Harley Quinn Smith) is queer.
In an interview with GLAAD’s Anthony Ramos, Smith shared that as she is bisexual, she definitely relates to parts of Mallory’s journey.“I absolutely identify with her.
She never really comes out to anybody, but it has always been clear to me. Even before I had discussions with the showrunner in the beginning, I always knew that Mallory was absolutely queer.
Such a big part of her identity is her queerness,” Smith said.“I identify with that completely. I am bisexual and I didn't really come out to anybody when I was in school either, and I went to an all-girls school.
