So on last night's Brooklyn Nine-Nine, the character of Rosa Diaz got a new *love interest* (poor Pimento).
Later in the episode, we were briefly introduced to her new partner after she got a phone call from her.
Yep, her. Rosa was initially reluctant to talk to her colleague Boyle about it.
But eventually came out to him.
You can see the full exchange below.
The plotline has been a long time coming. Stephanie Beatriz, the actor who plays Rosa Diaz, came out as bisexual last year and has said in interviews that she saw her character as bi too.
Yup https://t.co/BbTgURW7wA
