American actor, musician and comic book writer James Marsters sat down for a 13 January episode of “The B*tch Is Back!” podcast where he discussed the love he receives from LGBTQ+ fans regarding his time on ‘Buffy’, with some fans even crediting his character, Spike, as their gay awakening. When asked by host Charisma Carpenter if fans ever tell him that he was their gay awakening, Marsters immediately responds with “Yes! It makes me feel so grateful to be a part of a show that mattered.” 📷 Getty, 20th Century Studios #Buffy #BuffyTheVampireSlayer #LGBTQNews #CelebrityQuote
