Founrs Josh Campbell and Tim Chan are reclaimg the phrase “So Gay” to be “So Great, ” embracg the joy that when you live your most thentic, lourful self. [TC]: I grew up a very relig, nservative Asian hoehold, and beg gay was somethg that was always nsired a “s. ” It jt wasn’t somethg we talked about, and god forbid we had gay iends or fluenc that were seen as “too gay.
I WAS TEAM DESANTIS BEFORE HIS DISGTG ANTI-GAY AD
” When I was growg up, the phrase “so gay” was often thrown around like an sult, or a negative thg – like that outf is “so gay” or your ia was “so gay.
” It took me a very long time to e out to my iends and fay, and even as an openly gay man, I was very reful not to be “so gay” for fear of reprisal or beg stereotyped. But as I got olr, I realized that beg “so gay” is actually somethg that we should own and be proud of. We’ve all fought our own battl and have gone through our own journeys to e out as gay, and ’s time we celebrate this.
So Gay Rosé is also about reclaimg the phrase “so gay” to be “so great, ” makg a posive affirmatn rather than a slur.
