How Did You First Know You Were Gay?
Manage episode 437383952 series 3596748
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.)

For Toast’s portion, topics include:
- a seven year-old’s awareness
- “Jo” on The Facts of Life TV show
- being ‘non-heterosexual’ was not on the menu
- Princess Leia and the gold bikini
- and more
For Siena’s portion, topics include:
- growing up with aunts and uncles with ‘friends’ who were the same sex
- no direct references to aunts or uncles being ‘gay’
- ‘bisexuality’ was not on the menu
- ‘being feminine while being lesbian’ was not on the menu
- and more
