00:00How are you celebrating Pride Month this year?
00:03Oh, how am I celebrating Pride Month?
00:04I've been really fortunate to be invited to a lot of cool spaces with my peers
00:10and people who have been really influential in the industry,
00:14and I appreciate to be amongst really great people.
00:18What does pride mean to you?
00:20Pride means, I mean, I guess literally the word pride,
00:24just having this kind of instilled strength and not being afraid to show it
00:32and also connecting with a community that has so much love and light
00:37and keeping that tradition going every year.
00:41Who's a member of the community that you're especially inspired by or proud of right now?
00:47Wanda Sykes, honestly. I'll always say Wanda Sykes.
00:49I have looked up to her for a really long time.
00:51She's hilarious, obviously.
00:53I just saw her at the Critics' Choice Awards,
00:55and she told everyone that she always knew I was gay,
01:00so I really appreciate being seen for a really long time.
01:05What has the response to Agatha all along from the queer community been like for you?
01:09Because I feel like it was really embraced.
01:10It was really embraced, and I love it so much.
01:13I mean, yeah, how can it not?
01:15There's so many queer themes inside the show,
01:17and I'm glad that people could watch the show and feel seen
01:21and feel like a connection to the characters and the story we were telling.
01:24And I just feel really honored to be a part of a show,
01:27especially on a big platform like that, that can relate to so many people.
01:32And we're asking everyone tonight, what song is your pride anthem?
01:35Ooh, my pride anthem.
01:38Gosh.
01:39Honestly, the whole Lady Gaga album right now is just on a loop, just blasting.
01:45Yeah, she, for a really long time, has been a champion of the queer community,
01:50and I am really glad that she's here,
01:54and I'm really glad that she's so vocal and supportive of the community.
01:58And yeah, I'll listen to her until I die.
