The main character of “Orange is the New Black”, Piper, is a lesbian. She is sent to prison for being involved in a drug trafficking business. She faces many challenges in her time in prison, especially because she is engage to a man, but surrounded by numerous females throughout the precinct. She defies the pre-conceived ideas of her sexuality by attempting to not be a lesbian, and facing many sexual advances throughout the pilot episode. She is cut off from all communication and society, which makes this process even more difficult. She is “supposed to be” forward with women, but she is shy, timid, and secluded and it dramatically impacts her time in prison.
