- [Interviewer] Who's more likely
to make a straight person sleep with them?
- I wanna say gay men,
but that's because I think a lot of men
say they're straight but aren't.
- Us.
- [Interviewer] Why do you say you?
- 'Cause I do that. (laughs)
(Camille laughs)
(moderate music)
- [Interviewer] Hi.
- Hi, my name is Camille.
- My name is Bella.
- My sexual orientation is a lesbian.
- I am a lesbian.
- My name is Jay and I am gay.
- I am gay.
- I am Deontay and I'm gay as a motherfucker.
(interviewer laughs) So.
- [Interviewer] What are some stereotypes
about lesbian women?
- Handy, build a craft table.
- Oh, I'm gonna go build a desk from Ikea or something.
- They will drive 3,000 miles for dates.
- Lesbian women move in fast. (laughs)
They move into U-Haul Lesbian, I think it's called.
- By their second date, they're showing up with the U-Haul,
'cause they fall in love really quickly.
(interviewer laughs)
- [Interviewer] What stereotypes do you think lesbian women
said represent gay men?
- That we loud.
- Gay men are loud.
- That we talk too much.
- Take up a lot of space.
- That we always try to take over the room.
- Like attention, I guess.
- That we use our hands when we talk,
or we just be too much.
And that's fine. (interviewer laughs)
- [Interviewer] Give me your best impression of a gay man.
- "Oh my god, I love this place."
- "Hey, sis."
That's the, they always, they call me sis or they go,
"Hey, bitch."
I'm like, "Wow, we just met."
- I guess it's more physical than verbal.
- Just walk fast and just.
- [Interviewer] Walk fast?
- Yeah, yes, they walk very fast.
- [Interviewer] How do you think they're gonna
impersonate lesbian women?
- Oh, they're gonna be like, "Hey what's up?"
(Bella grunts) (interviewer laughs)
- First thing you gotta do I've heard,
you gotta button the top collar.
That's a huge lesbian thing.
- They're just confident.
There's a posture.
- Pretty, you know, they're tough.
- How are you standing?
- [Interviewee 1] Oh did you say how am I standing?
(Deontay and Interviewee 1 laughs)
- [Interviewer] Who's more problematic.
- Gay men.
- I think gay men.
- Gay men. (laughs)
- Honest to God, it's us.
We give a lot of feminine, masculine energy,
and sometimes that shit could just be too much.
- For younger people,
gay men being problematic is kind of fun,
with stirring the pot and talking shit.
- In some certain spaces, there are certain gay men
that don't want women in their space.
- A lot of gay men are really just focused
on gay issues and not necessarily thinking
about the issues that other folks
in our community experience.
- You are basically nothing compared to them.
- A lot of their essence is based in body shaming,
and it utilizes different form of toxic masculinity.
- You have to be fit, you have to be skinny,
you have to look a certain way,
you have to be this and this and this.
And not everybody is that.
Lesbians are a little more open-minded,
and a little more not as discriminating.
- Who's better at sex?
- We rule because we can have more orgasms.
- [Interviewer] What do you think gay men are gonna say?
- They're gonna say, "They."
Yeah.
- The lesbians.
You watch Pornhub?
(interviewer laughs)
Okay.
- Lesbians.
There's a million and a half ways to do it.
There's no way that it could go bad.
- They're open to explore and open to be
vulnerable while gay men are kind of, it's very-
(hands slap)
(interviewer laughs)
- [Interviewer] Do you know any lesbian slang?
- U-haul Lipstick Lesbian,
I don't know if that's slang.
Is there a lesbian slang?
- Purr, queen, aunty.
- [Interviewer] Do you know any gay slang?
- Slang?
- Mm.
- Um.
- I don't know, I mean.
- It's funny, I feel like a lot of our slang
comes from RuPaul and so like where it came
before it got to RuPaul, I don't know.
- 'Cause I think gay men appropriate
a lot of black culture, specifically black women.
- I feel like a lot of gay slang is just generally
appropriated from the black community,
or black queer folks or black trans folks.
- Work, serve, slay, fan, fan, fan.
- [Interviewer] Who's more likely
to make a straight person sleep with them?
- I wanna say gay men,
but that's because I think a lot of men
say they're straight but aren't.
- Us.
- [Interviewer] Why do you say you?
- 'Cause I do that. (laughs)
(Camille laughs)
- [Interviewer] What annoys you the most
about straight people?
- Straight people are just a lot less fun to be around.
- Oh my God.
They just try to be included in everything actually.
I feel like they need to have something else,
because they think that we have something.
- How unaware of how good they have it.
It's so easy to be straight.
They just don't grasp the sense of privilege
they have compared to gay people.
- Gay people, if you go out with your partner,
you're automatically kind of putting yourself
at the risk of violence.
- They'll complain about small things and I'm like,
"Do we actually have real problems?"
- [Interviewer] What do you wish more people
understood about lesbian women?
- We don't want to be men, we don't hate men.
I have a distaste for some of them,
but that's different.
- We're not all like that.
And we are very personable and wonderful people
to be around.
You know, we are just like you are.
- We're not waiting for the right guy
to come around and change our mind.
I promise.
- We are not attracted to straight women.
We are still women who want women friends.
We're not predators.
- [Interviewer] What do you wish people
understood more about gay men?
- That we're not your gay best friend.
That we're not all feminine with a lisp.
We're not here for just your entertainment,
that we're actually real people.
- I'm just now starting to get to the space
where I'm showing them who I am,
and I know that there's a lot of queer people that feel
like they have to isolate theirselves and hold back.
Don't hold back for them motherfuckers,
them straights, fuck them.
We taking over any goddamn way.
Shout out to Nas X.
- [Interviewer] Last one.
Give gay men a compliment.
- For those of you that dress well, thank you.
(Interviewee 2 laughs)
- Well, all the gay men I know
have always been the best listeners,
and the best support system,
especially, when it came to my sexuality.
So if I were to thank gay men,
I would just say thank you.
- I came out to lesbians first.
Lesbians are who were there for me.
You were so kind to me and all my friends who are lesbians,
thank you so much.
