- Would you find someone like me attractive?
- I'd have a drink with you.
Are you attracted to me?
- Yes, in a very weird way.
- Do you date younger women?
- I do, it's really terrible.
- How young?
- I don't want to talk about it.
(lighthearted trumpet music)
- [Cameraman] Hi.
- Hi.
- [Cameraman] Who are you?
And what do you do for a living?
- Oh, I'm Bella Biagio.
I'm a server, which I haven't been for a year
because of our situation.
- [Cameraman] What's your sexual orientation?
- You know, it's so weird
because there's so many things now.
But I'm just your basic gay person.
- [Cameraman] Do you know what you're doing today?
- Apparently I'm guessing who's straight.
- [Cameraman] What are some straight stereotypes?
- Straight women, I get along with well, in...really well.
- [Cameraman] Why do you think you get along
with straight women?
- Because because they're attracted to me
and I'm attracted to them.
It's been a dilemma for a long time.
- [Cameraman] Are you ready to meet the first person?
- Oh good, yeah, why not?
- Hi.
- I really love your outfit by the way.
It's really put together.
- Thank you.
- You look very confident.
- Okay. So you're attracted to me.
I think you're straight.
- Yes. Good job.
- Have you ever slept with a straight woman?
- Yeah, many times.
- Oh, wow.
- It's almost a habit.
- [Cameraman] I mean, do you think any
of them were bisexual or?
- Yeah, I think that some of them were,
but at the time when I was getting to
know them, they were straight.
- You're young. Aren't you?
- Yeah.
- How old are you?
- 18.
- Wow.
- [Cameraman] Why don't we play with your whole strategy?
Why don't you ask Felix if he's attracted to you?
- Well, he won't be.
- Yeah I'm just not into like older people.
Not in a mean way, oh my God.
Not in mean way.
- Okay so when you walked in, I thought you were gay.
You did this thing, that's kind of like, just like cute.
- [Cameraman] Let's see this walk. I'm curious.
- Watch carefully.
Don't try to butch it.
- I'm not, I was actually try to do it naturally.
- I think you're gay.
I actually feel more masculine than you.
- Oh, you're correct. I'm gay.
- Yay.
How long have you known this?
- I've noticed since I was like a little kid.
Teen Wolf. That was my show. That's how I knew I was gay.
I was like, damn, they've got to me.
- I think it's just so great that you just knew
and went forward with that.
- Yeah. I just-
- There was no hesitation on your part.
- No hesitation, I mean, I came out first,
like as BI, just to fit in a little bit.
And then I was like, I don't give a fuck.
I'm just gonna to come out as gay.
- Do you think I'm straight?
- I would say maybe you're...
full lesbian.
- Yes. Full, full on. I've slept with one guy.
I was like, get off of me, get off of me.
- I feel that, that's me with woman.
- The vagina would be not a good place for you.
- Not for me.
- [Cameraman] Are you feeling good about you gaydar now?
- Yeah, but I don't want to say that
because I'm going to probably fuck it up.
Hi.
- Hi.
- So you're very fashionable. I like it.
- So are you.
I love the little suit jacket.
- Thank you. It's a little boys suit.
It's the only ones that fit me.
So how do you feel about licking pussy?
- Eating pussy is like part
of my top 10 favorite activities on this planet.
- So I think you're straight.
You're on that same masculine levels.
That's why.
- You're incorrect. Like, I'm bisexual.
- Oh.
I'm attracted to both genders.
Usually, because I want to be the guy
but that I'm looking at, I'm going
wow that's a good-looking guy.
- Yes. But do you like to fuck those men?
- No.
No, I don't.
You're very welcome.
What do you do for living?
- I'm a sex worker.
- What is this specifically that you do?
- I take pictures, videos, in little to nothing. And I get paid for it.
- Why not?
Are you attracted to me?
- I think you're an attractive person.
But I'm not attracted to you.
- I think you're not straight.
- What do you think my sexual orientation is?
- I think you prefer to be with women.
So are you straight?
- No.
I'm asexual.
- Oh, what does that mean to you?
- I don't see someone and think about sex at all.
You know, I'd rather pet dogs and-
- Me too.
- I'm married to a man who's allosexual or not asexual.
- Is your relationship open in that way that he does that?
No.
Interesting. This is fascinating stuff.
- So do you have sex with your husband?
- Not as much as he would like, but-
- That's kind of normal, is it?
- Yeah.
- You do not consider yourself straight.
- I'm what I consider a hetero romantic, but asexual.
- I see.
Okay. I think I'm understanding.
- Hey
- How are you?
- Good. How are you?
- Good
You're wearing a cross now.
- I am.
- Are you religious in any way, shape or form?
- I used to be.
- Oh.
You got a ring. What's the ring?
- The ring was actually my friend's brother
who passed away a few years ago.
- Oh, I'm sorry.
- I have it on my chest. Close to my heart.
- You are a such a sensitive person.
- I am. I'm a big Teddy bear.
- Yes I can tell.
- I can't imagine you dating a straight woman
because they would eat you alive.
I think you're not straight.
I think you're gay.
- Yeah, you're right. I am gay.
- What kind of men do you like?
- It's the connection to that person.
And then the vulnerability that we both connect.
Because me and my current partner-
- Oh, you're going to make me cry.
- We balance each other out.
- Aw, and you're happy.
- Very.
- You obviously look happy.
- Why did you leave the church then?
What happened?
- The views of the leadership we had.
We just butted heads, even other people,
you know, my friends have just recently come out
and then others they're still to this day being ostracized
by people who we thought were best friends.
- Do you feel that they were all of your?
- I think there's a higher power up there.
Is it a garden? I don't know.
- Hello, hello.
- What do you do for a living?
- I'm a video game developer.
- Do you have sex with people?
Or you're so into games that you just can't be bothered?
- I'm bothered.
- So, if I'm in a bar that you were going to flirt with me.
How would you go about that?
- Hey, if practice makes perfect
your parent's name must be practice and practice.
- (Laughs) Wow.
It's very hard because you have gay mannerisms,
that are feminine. You do.
- Like what?
- She could kick my ass.
- I hope you don't.
- You're kind of a nerd.
And that's not a bad thing, but you just...
I don't, God.
You are not straight.
- Jokes on you. I'm straight.
She never opened my mouth.
- I see. I know.
That's why I was seeing there and I'm going
he is the gayest person I've ever seen.
Do you ever try to act more straight?
- I do sometimes have the sort of find ways
to sort of sneak in a conversation the fact
that I'm straight, especially if there's
like a woman that I'm interested in nearby,
but you know, people usually see that
kind of behavior and think like
Oh, you're definitely in the closet.
That's what's up. And I was like
No, that's not the one either.
- Well, okay.
Nice meeting you.
- Nice to meeting you too
- Carry on, I'd say with just the way you are.
- Hi.
- Hello.
- Would you find someone like me attractive?
- I'd have a drink with you.
- This is interesting.
- Are you attracted to me?
- Yes. In a very weird way.
So I'm thinking that you might be straight
because of that reason.
- Close.
- What does that mean?
- I recently came out as BI.
- Okay.
Have you been with a woman?
- No.
- So I was picking up that part. Okay.
- Yeah. I just haven't found the right person.
Kind of vulnerable.
- Yes.
How have people been responding to you coming out?
- My mom's side of the family is pretty Christian.
My older cousin that I'm like close to.
She was like, I support you
but I don't believe that's right.
- That's hard.
I'm really proud of you, because being in a Christian
situation is not an easy place to come out of.
So congratulations to you. And good for you.
Just take your time.
Those are nice shoes.
- Thank you. I thrifted them.
- You're not straight.
- [Cameraman] That fast?
- Yeah, it was that fast.
- I'm straight.
- Jesus Christ. My gaydar is just losing it.
- I identified as a lesbian for a very long time.
- Wait, what?
I'm a transgender man
- I didn't even know, this is great!
- That's probably why you were getting like queer vibes.
- And when did you decide to not be a lesbian anymore?
- I mean, I've sort like always knew.
And then when I was like 12 or something,
there was a scoop about the world's first pregnant man,
Thomas Speedy, I think was his name.
And that's when I found out that like you
could be a trans guy and then it just clicked.
- And you date women?
- Yes.
- Straight women?
- My current partner is straight.
- I understand you very well. I just identify more male.
I am attracted to straight women all the time.
- I believe that if I was younger
I probably would've gone down the trans road.
- What's like stopping you from going down the trans path?
- I have inhabited this body for so long.
I just say, well, this is who I am, but you know, who knows?
- Yeah.
- I guess I still have time.
- Yeah.
- You know.
- [Cameraman] What did you learn today?
- Well, this world is, it's not very different
than what I actually grew up in.
It's just because everything is so much more okay.
It gives you the opportunity to really find out
who you are and to go forward with that.
[Cameraman] Do you wish you were born in a different time?
- Yeah.
Yes and a no.
Because I got to experience the 70´s,
which was fantastic.
Took any drug, you had any kind of sex you wanted.
But there was not the freedom.
You had a choice of this woman or this woman.
And they were very distinct.
And you went with that.
Even if you didn't feel like you belonged to that.
I like it.
I like what's happening with people.
- [Cameraman] Good job.
- Yeah.
(Hand clapping) Thank you.
