Transcript
Which city is gayer? LA or New York? It's two gay cities. I mean, I know LA more, and I know it to be very gay, so I'll lean into LA right now. I'll say LA. I think New York, there's just more gay people. They're everywhere. They're all drug addicts. They're all sex addicts. LA, they're, like, a little healthier. I've been in New York and been seeing a lot more gay people. I wanna say LA is more lesbian. New York is more gay guy. What? But tell me I'm wrong. I don't I could be wrong.
