"How I Met Your Mother" star Alyson Hannigan spoke at length about her "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" days in an interview with HuffPost Live, recalling her character's groundbreaking lesbian relationship.

"I was so grateful to have been a part of such a wonderful relationship," Hannigan, 39, said of Willow and Tara. "The people that it's touched that I've met ... it's such a gift to have been able to do that."

When asked if her "Buffy" role had earned her a long-standing following among lesbian audiences, Hannigan noted, "I hope so. I would feel like a failure if it didn't."

I don't believe her when she says she had no trepidation about playing a lesbian character lol...
 
"You're gonna have a friend and she'll be a special friend, just your friend" 😛

I agree, I bet there was trepidation, seeing as Willow and Tara were the first lesbians on TV and playing gay was not nearly as common then as it is now.
