'Experiencing Gay Culture For The First Time...' - with drag queen Tita Baby

Lost Spaces: Memories from Gay Bars, Lesbian Clubs, and LGBTQ+ Parties

Subscribe to my newsletter Queer Word, where we explore and unpack a different queer word every week.

You know how we talk about queer spaces as a place where you can just be yourself? And we talk about how liberating and exciting and freeing that is?

Well, what if the opposite is also true? What if being someone else in a queer space is also really liberating? What if being someone else actually helps you to realise who you are?

Ok, I seem to be tying myself up in knots here. So, instead of pondering that massive question, why don't I introduce you to this week's guest?

If you are a fan of Drag Race, but you haven't yet watched any of the international versions of the franchise then let me recommend you go straight to Drag Race Philippines. And, in particular, season 3 because it's chaotic and ridiculous in all the best ways.

And it's where I found this week's guest, the delightful Tita Baby.

Tita and I caught up to talk about Bed, which was a club in the capital city of the Philipines, Manila. And, of course, we also talked about much, much more - her childhood growing up in a sheltered catholic family, never being picked to play basketball with the other boys, and her relationship with her bisexuality.

I loved this conversation because Tita was so open and honest throughout.
