Bianca Lawson, Pretty Little Liars’ Bianca Lawson chatted with AfterEllen about what its like playing Emily’s (Shay Mitchell) girlfriend Maya, her lesbian army, romance, deleted scenes and much more. Check out just a few of the highlights below.

Bianca on acting and romance:

I just really love Maya and Emily’s love story. I’m such a romantic anyway, I’m a sucker for a good romance, and I love them together. I’m so glad they’ve had those tender moments, those intimate moments together.

Bianca on what happened while Maya was away at True North:

And when she came back, she was trying to be her old self, trying to play it off like it was OK and fun and she made friends there. But as the episodes have progressed, you’re starting to see a crack. You’re starting to see that the things that went on there weren’t all happy songs by the campfire. Something traumatic happened to her at the camp, and she’s kind of experiencing some PTSD. What you saw in episode 220 was those fears getting triggered. She is terrified of being sent back.

Bianca on marriage equality:

I mean, I honestly think it’s ridiculous that marriage equality is even an issue, that people are actually debating it. Love is love and people are people. But we are in a civil rights moment right now, and I feel really proud that I fell into this character and into this storyline at a time when there are so many boundaries being pushed and such a political conversation about how gay Americans deserve the same rights as all other Americans.
