How Did You First Know You Were Gay?


Listen Later

We’re a couple of Asian Americans who grew up in Hawaii back in the ‘70s and ‘80s. In this episode, we talk about what it was like back then, to realize, slowly over time, that we were gay.

The main topic discussion starts at around 10 minutes.

(Before that, Siena’s on a mission to educate Toast about classic movies.)
