Beauty influencer, transgender role model and Youtube maven Gigi Gorgeous recently starred in her own documentary which aired across Youtube Red.
“This is Everything”, an intimate portrait of the professional and personal journey of the young Youtube star recently became available on Youtube Red after premiering at Sundance Film Festival in January.
Gigi Gorgeous recently dropped by HuffPost to chat about “This Is Everything.” During the conversation, Gigi opened up about the controversy that erupted when she came out as a lesbian in Sept of last year:
“When you came out as a lesbian, you got some haters ― even within the queer community. Why do you think some people had a harder time with you coming out as a lesbian than as transgender?” I asked her.
“I think it actually has something to do with being trans,” Gorgeous replied. “Being a transgender woman and a lesbian I think is a lot for people to handle… I get it. This is a lot to comprehend coming from the outside. But this is me and this is what the film is all about ― it’s a human you’re talking to. Labels do not define you. They literally are just labels at the end of the day and I’m all for a label-less human ― Go for it! Do you! ― but if I want to label myself, accept it and move on and let’s just have a conversation.”
