Being a teenager is never an easy job, and especially not when you are a teenager, who decides to follow an unconventional path in life.
Who would know that better than Gabrielle Christian, the gorgeous brunette, who we best know from her role on South of Nowhere!
Gabrielle has always appeared to be a revolutionary young woman on the show, in which she portrays the character of a lesbian.
The move was no easy one, especially considering that she made it big, so early on in her career.
There was the risk of falling into a stereotype, and of being hated by all the anti-gay groups across the country. But regardless of all that, she took the plunge and accepted the challenge that many had chickened away from.
Needless to say, it was a great decision; not just for her as an individual, but even for her career. She went on to become an overnight sensation, and is now one of the most sought-after actresses in the industry.
However, the journey this far hasn’t been an easy one.
When asked what the most difficult part of it has been, Gabrielle responded by saying that it was the parental pressure. That was something that she had to face both on-screen and off-screen.
The actress revealed that her father is a staunch Roman catholic, which is why it was shocking for him to consider the prospect of his daughter going gay, even if it was just for a television role. He didn’t approve of what he saw in the pilot episode and is still not in favor of the profession chosen by his daughter.
Gabrielle had to face a similar situation with her on-screen mother, who was appalled by her daughter’s homosexuality.
The actress revealed that the scenes, where she had to go against her mother on the show, made her cry, as she thought of all the young girls, who really had to go through this in their real lives.
If you wish to see the mother-daughter equation that has developed between them on the show now, you can download the latest South of Nowhere episodes to do so.

Do you remember the young cast of the show?
However, this so called modern and civilized world we brag about is more of a sham, owing to its incapability to accept certain unconventional yet natural realities of the society.
A few years ago, a television series having two lesbian protagonists would’ve been dismissed as a figment of some pervert’s imagination, but South of Nowhere made it possible, and at the same time, gained a lot of love.
