One surprising twist in the iconic series is David and Darlene's child, Mark (Ames McNamara), who identifies as "gender creative."
"Here's the thing, you are weird. I'm weird, this whole family's really weird," Darlene tells Mark. "So you just got to hang in there until people figure out that weird is cool."
Mark's character isn't without controversy, though. The child has received mixed reactions from the rest of the Conner household and with some viewers who've bashed the character's feminine attire and jewelry. "Mark's just a normal kid," McNamara told Good Morning America. "He likes to do art, he likes playing basketball and wearing girls' clothes is just a small part of Mark."
As one of many shows that addressed LGBT issues during its heyday, is it really a surprise that one of Roseanne's cast member's identifies as non-binary? Not at all. However, Darlene has already displayed how much she loves and accepts Mark, but we're excited to see if David's one-episode appearance will also explore his thoughts about Mark's gender identity.
