Percy Lee
EP: Go ahead and introduce yourself.
PL: My name is Percy. Percy Lee. I use any pronouns. I'm queer.
Yeah. Tell me about your connection to the queer community.
When I was in, like, middle school I think, my older brother came out as gay. So I was like, well, that's great for him. I don't know what that means. And I didn't consider that it was different. I guess I was just like, you know, everyone has a gay brother. That's a thing. And then I was like, well, maybe, maybe that's not just him. And so I was like, oh, I guess I like men and women And you know what? That's life. And now I've actually considered it. I know what being gay is now.
No way.
I know what it means.
How many years did that take you?
Um, let's not talk about that. That’s not important. I think I'm less interested in romance than the average person, so I consider myself sort of aroace-ish [aromantic asexual]. But it's like women are–women are pretty. I'm just saying. So somewhere between ace and lesbian and just queer in general. Yeah. I don't know. And then I'm like, genderqueer, nondescript gender.
