FX’s creepy new hit American Horror Story has been getting a lot of buzz, and now creator Ryan Murphy & Co. have announced that the show is getting a lesbian best friend type of character played by Kathleen Rose Perkins, according to Entertainment Weekly.

It’s not surprising that the man who gave us Joely Richardson and Portia de Rossi as a couple on Nip / Tuck and Naya Rivera as a bitch lesbian Cheerio on Glee would add a lesbian character to the roster at American Horror Story, but with so few lez characters on Primetime it’s a welcomed addition.

Perkins is slated to play Peggy, the lesbian bff to Zachary Quinto’s – who just came out as gay last week btw –Chad, a gay interior designer who once owned the house of horrors that’s at the core of the show.

A television veteran who’s appeared on dozens of shows including Grey’s Anatomy, Nip / Tuck and The Mentalist is best known for her recurring roles on ‘Til Death, Trust Me and Showtime’s Matt LeBlanc starrer Episodes.
