"The one thing that distinguishes queer comedy for me as a queer person is that growing up, in terms of media representation, queer people have been forced into projecting their own narratives onto stories that aren't explicitly about us," Booster continues. "That creates a certain style.
Still, as a fundamental signifier toward the different life they lead, sex often remains centered in the acts of these comedians. "In this country, when people think about gay men, they think about the way we have sex, and it grosses them out," Booster notes. "It's like, 'You're going to be grossed out by me, so I might as well be honest and transparent about the way I'm having sex.
As a queer person of color, Jay feels a responsibility to speak for her people, all of them, if not all at once. That need to sometimes "switch" from one group to another is complicated, she says, but also familiar. "Because if you're a minority, there's just a part of your life that's called switching, period. It's how you function in the world, which is wack, but facts. But I just want to be an artist, and I'm not going to cater to anybody.
