  • I never felt like I could fully own my label as a bisexual for a bunch of reasons.

  • One.

  • When I was 11 or 12 I had a crush on a girl and I told my friend she was like Anna, you're just trying to be interesting.

  • So I have internalized that I'm just a straight girl trying to be interesting to buy.

  • Sexuality is a spectrum, and for the most part, I mean, my pie chart leans more towards being attracted to men.

  • So it felt weird to say I was bisexual if I mostly felt attracted to men.

  • And finally, I'd never been physical with the woman.

  • So how can you really affirm your bisexuality if you've never got down and dirty with a lady?

  • And then a few things happened?

  • For one?

  • I talked to some amazing queer women, like actually Perez and Gabby Done and Stevie Bobby, who basically said, If you're attracted to both sexes, you're bisexual.

  • Doesn't matter what your percentages are.

  • It doesn't matter if you've been with a girl.

  • If you like both you like both and then I was physically with the woman.

  • Two women at the same time, ways dirt on my shoulder.

  • Just kidding.

  • I love and respect those women very much.

  • And finally I got drunk and I won an award at Buffer Festival.

  • And when I was allowed to engrave this award, I did this.

  • And then I promptly sent it to my parents because I figured it's easier news to stomach for Asian parents if it's engraved on an award.

  • And I always thought I wasn't going to come out publicly because, for one, I don't wanna get to monetize on YouTube and two because I made this really embarrassing video years ago about how it was okay for me to kiss the same sex when I was in a relationship, because this is very grand and trying to be really fun.

  • But then I got drunk at the stream, is and won another award.

  • Please, please, please vote.

  • People need us more than ever.

  • Marginalized groups need us more than ever.

  • I'm not only ah, woman of color, but I'm also a queer woman.

  • So please get out to the polls and vote.

  • Thank you.

  • Thank you very much.

  • So there you have it.

  • I can on Lee come out with my sexuality when I'm inebriated and winning in some capacity.

  • It's very anti climactic.

  • Anyway.

  • Here's what my parents had to say about me being by.

  • How do you feel about homosexuality?

  • Well, I'm not a participant, but none of my business.

  • I'm open to it.

  • I don't care like you personally.

  • No, no, not me.

  • I got a lot of cousins that lesbians and gay.

  • So I grew up knowing about it.

  • So there's no big deal.

  • How do you feel about bisexuality?

  • No big deal either.

  • I wish it ran in the family.

  • You mean like you wish Mom was my first date with a girl?

  • She joked about us getting married.

  • Did you really go out with a girl?

  • Yes.

  • Oh, I didn't know that.

  • So those songs that I kissed a girl, I kissed a girl and I like it.

  • That's true.

  • Do you care if I end up with a man or a woman?

  • Not really along.

  • Is there nice?

  • As long as you're happy, I really don't care.

  • Do you believe in polyamory?

  • What is that?

  • I don't know what that means.

  • It's okay.

  • Mhm E would have to believe it from the fact that it exists in a lot of cultures.

  • Mormons, they believe in polygamy.

  • The Muslims believe in polygamy.

  • And I've met quite a few on both sides.

  • Uh, they're very happy with multiple partners.

  • Well, if it works for them, it's not my business.

  • I don't care.

  • But you are monogamous, monogamous?

  • Meaning just one person.

  • Yes, I've already I've already broached the question with your mother.

  • That is not a topic for discussion.

  • Ever.

  • Ever, ever.

  • Have you ever had a threesome?

  • No.

  • No.

  • Do you wanna have a threesome?

  • Never.

  • Things is.

  • For the record, I have to say.

  • Now, have you ever had crushes on girls?

  • No, but I did like my teacher before in high school.

  • She is really pretty like her, but not like it.

  • But I loved the way and face looks.

  • I have looked at men and thought I bet women would literally like him based on the way he looks.

  • But that's a far as it goes.

  • Do you ever question your own sexuality?

  • No.

  • The no.

  • I just want to do it with Daddy and nobody else.

  • Oh, he told us that you will not consider a threesome at any point ever.

  • He's yours.

  • No, I'm kind of kind of old fashioned, I think.

  • What do you think?

  • When I sent you that message, I thought it was Photoshopped Photo E.

  • Yes, because I didn't think that's something that they would present to you on stage in front of the cameras and a bunch of people.

  • No, I got it engraved afterwards.

  • Well, I didn't get it at first because I didn't know what the hell was like.

  • What is this, b b i What?

  • At what the heck or a buy?

  • And that's why I was like, It's on a goodbye that it goes like, I don't know.

  • We're surprised.

  • Not really.

  • I mean, not that I suspected or anything, but it wasn't shocking.

  • It's like you're telling me about a new dress e dress by by cool.

  • Like I said, as long as you're happy, I'm happy for you know, once you find a good partner, think the partner that would love you take care of you, not hurt you.

  • I think that's that's all parents want for their kids.

  • Just to be happy Way did mention it does not mean your mother didn't know what it meant.

  • I kind of explain a little bit Google.

  • Did I have to go?

  • You know I didn't have to go.

  • That's a person.

  • It doesn't matter if you're with a woman over the guy, You know?

  • Like I said, you just have to be in love.

  • You're happy with them.

  • And as long as the partner is good, good with you.

  • Good for you And respect this other.

  • I don't see any problem with it.

  • Don't say anything to the gay community.

  • Hi, Timmy.

I never felt like I could fully own my label as a bisexual for a bunch of reasons.
