Taylor Tomlinson: A Joke About Coming Out

**Taylor Tomlinson** (0:06)
To be clear, when I say that I came out in the last couple of years, I just mean publicly, right? Like, I came out to friends earlier than that, but I don't think I did it right. I think I was too casual about it. I think I was supposed to do, like, an episode of Glee, and I just sort of mentioned it, like, oh, by the way, I think I'm gonna date women now, too. And they were like, okay. Like, I said, I was vegan or something. Like, okay, we'll see how long that lasts. You need iron, bitch. Like, they were not... They really accepted it once I had my first girlfriend. I started dating this girl who was so hot. I was like, oh, my God. Am I Pete Davidson?
How tall am I? And when I started dating women, it was the closest I'd come to feeling religious in a long time, because my friends would complain about their boyfriends and husbands, and I was like, have you heard the good news? You don't have to live like this. There's a better way.
Then once I had a girlfriend, then my friends started coming to me with a lot of their questions. They started coming to me with their millennial regrets. Do we have any Gen Z in here tonight? Oh my god! Shut up, really? Okay, everyone be cool in front of my new friends. All right. Now, Gen Z, you won't really get this, because you guys are very good at exploring your identities and sexualities. You want to know who you are and what you're capable of. And what you have to understand about us millennials is we wake up every day and look in the mirror like, shh, don't feel joy outside. You'll upset my mom and papa. Just wait, be free in death. Wait. Those are our morning affirmations. So we're dealing with a lot, we're oppressing a lot. So I had a lot of female friends in their 30s and 40s who were like, I wish I had dated women, but they ended up with a man and they were happy, but they're like, I wish I had done that. And so they were asking me a lot of personal questions like, is it better having sex with women? And I was like, do you really want me to tell you? Because you said you were pretty locked in with that guy.
And they're like, no, like, is it really, is it really different? And I was like, yeah. And they're like, well, how? So here's, here's what I said. I think the biggest difference between having sex with men and women is when you're having sex with a woman, you're there the whole time, you know?
Because you know how with a man, you can kind of just, like, not in a traumatic way, just in like, oh, I'm in the backseat on a road trip, forgot my headphones. Let's look at clouds.
Huh? I did, I did, yeah, absolutely. Yes. Oh my god, yes, a big one. A huge, big, quiet, but big. It's just silent but deadly. I love those. Thank you so much. Watch Taylor Tomlinson, Prodigal Daughter, only on Netflix.
