HighSchool stars, Railey and Seazynn Gilliland, discuss the importance of queer representation on TV.

If you haven't checked out the new Amazon FreeVee series High School yet, your '90s grunge heart implores you do so. Based on the autobiographical New York Times Best-Selling Memoir of the same name by pop duo Tegan and Sara Quin, the series follows the twin teens through high school as they begin to discover who they are as individuals, and what their place in the world is.

One can imagine that tracking down twin sisters to portray these two would be difficult, but thanks to TikTok, the Gilliland twins were tapped as the perfect match. As dealing with coming out to yourself and others is a central theme to Tegan and Sara's story, the Gilliland twins both identifying as queer is both essential and laudable. Still, no matter how convenient their look or orientation, the roles would require actresses that could both act and sing.
