After starring in the 1997 teen drama series, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Sarah Michelle Gellar is back with yet another supernatural series Wolf Pack in 2023. Her previous series based on a comic was an epic hit, especially in the modern era with its metaphor for being closeted. Buffy’s development in the comics as a gender-fluid queer hero happened way before the binaries made it to the mainstream media.

Gellar continued, “This is a community that has supported me in all of the jobs that I’ve done, whether they have been successful or not, and so I’m incredibly grateful.” Although the actress gained her fame in the pride community through her work as Buffy, it wasn’t entirely about s*xual identity. Gellar elaborated, her character was about coming out as the person one truly believes they are. So it could be a metaphor for coming out of the closet.
