Hayley Kiyoko

because this journey has been 10 years long, I've changed.

You know, when I released Girls Like Girls in 2015, I wasn't confident in who I was.

I wasn't comfortable with who I was.

And now I'm here on stage waving a rainbow flag.

And so this story also evolves.

And even from the book experience, seeing the movie, my fans will see that evolution as well.

I'm so curious.

You've got a lovely reading voice.

I just felt like I was about to, like, take a rest listening to this beautiful gay story.

It's feeling very Girls Like Girls coded.

Yep.

It's sounding homosexual.

It's sounding a little gay.

The thing is, is the other guy, John, could be also confused as well.

And maybe...

It's tough because, like, sometimes you're like, oh, is John just lonely and needing connection?

And they have this, like, best buddy connection.

But on the other side of the coin, he could totally be feeling the same way as the other guy.

It's sounding gay to me.

I've done lots of lingering in cars, the eye contact, the, like, ha-ha-ha-ha.
