Big Freedia talks about growing up gay in New Orleans, the bullying she faced, and her mission to be a visible role model for LGBTQ+ youth. She's committed to opening doors for her community and then teaches Karamo a bounce dance move.
So being gay in New Orleans when you were coming up, how is that different from what you've experienced now?
So growing up in New Orleans back then, being gay wasn't accepted like it is now. I mean, I had to fight. I had people who tried to bully me. I had to fight for to be who I wanted to be. I also had a mission that I was gonna be the first New Orleans gay person that any boy could come to and not feel like I'm stepping out of line with them. I can be their partner, they can dap me off. So I wanted to have relationships with everybody. And so I worked really hard at that for many, many years. I fought all my life and I'm gonna continue to fight to be able to open doors for the next generation of people that walks like me and talk like me. And anything that I can do to help the community and make the world a better place, I'm down and I'm fighting for my people. Anything that's fighting for a great cause, I'm down for it.
