The thing that's great about Nellie is that she could be headcanoned as bisexual or lesbian. She has a history with at least one man (deceased husband) and we don't know any other past relationships. Whether her marriage was out of compulsory heteronormativity, would be the thing that is up for discussion and could determine if she's a lesbian or bisexual. Since that isn't completely clear, I've headcanoned and seen her as bisexual. From what I've seen, Nellie is very much attracted to a person's personality and whether or not they can keep up with her. Being with women isn't unique or new to her, but being with someone who can test her like Ah Toy is.

People are sleeping on this queer representation + show in general

As a queer Asian American I feel an obligation to get more people to know about Warrior (2019) which is streaming on MAX (HBO), but had originally aired on Cinemax.

This show is based on an original concept and writings of Bruce Lee and is executive-produced by his daughter, Shannon Lee. It is set in 1870 San Francisco and bases a lot of the story and characters on historical figures during/around the Tong Wars. It's a riveting, action packed series that's sure to please anyone who enjoys old school martial arts films, westerns, dramas, and more.

But that's not it. The show has an interracial queer relationship that too many people don't know about. This will now go into spoiler territory. So if this post has already convinced you to go watch it just from the first image, then don't read on.

You first get to see Ah Toy and Nellie Davenport interact at the beginning of season 2. Ah Toy, from season 1 is already canonically bisexual. From the get go it is evident that they are enemies as Ah Toy is an influential madame in Chinatown who runs a brothel. While on the other hand Nellie is a rich widow who has aided the police force in raids throughout Chinatown to shut down crib brothels. In time you'll learn that they're both badass motherfuckers, but I don't want to spoil that for you!

As the season progresses, they find that they aren't as different as they originally thought. Falling straight into the enemies to lovers story path. So here's a still from season 3 of these wonderful bi women to encourage you all to check out Warrior.

Still not convinced? Look at them!

Not enough? How about now?

No? How about now?

Well then here's my last try...

I have now done my duty to try and get more people to watch this show and support these women. It is out of my hands now.

PS: If you do watch it, come spam my inbox cause I wanna talk about it! Also if you like fanfic, then subscribe to my AO3 cause I'm already working on some fics for them :D

PSS: There's also straight interracial relationships and gay representation too.
