Bowen Yang

Nobody bullies like gay men.

Nobody bullies out gay men that are finally able to be themselves in New York City.

I would have the hardest time because I was a little bit later to it than them.

I was from a different culture than one that was like, yeah, be yourself.

I was in a very assimilated culture.

It was like you, you know, I went to a type of high school that had like cliques and I wore like popped collar American Eagle and hemp bracelets and spoke like this and talk like this with an accent.

Did you?

Yes.

That was your voice in high school?

Yes, yes.

You would never know I was a tenor.

And then that's when I start panicking because that means that I'm going to a party and there's going to be girls there and they might want me to kiss them.

So yeah, no, I was super happy to not have to do the drag anymore.

And now it's just funny because those gay guys freshman year are like, oh, he's one of the most forefront gay guys we got.

He really, I guess, showed us and figured out his personality from when they were telling me I was fake and I was pathetic for not being myself.

It's like, if you just let me cook...

I promise I'll leave you all in the gay dust.

Like, rev me up.

But anyway, yeah, it's interesting.

Yeah, because it's existential.
