Money Makes the Model-Gay

What do Asami (Avatar: Legend of Korra), Nigel (Devil Wears Prada) and Oliver T’sien (Crazy Rich Asians) have in common? Money and, of course, their LGBTQIA status. In this episode of Fourth Speaker, David and Emma draw on their own experiences to interrogate new ideas of what it means to be the ‘model-gay’; unpack ideas on how LGBTQIA youths conceptualise their identities; discuss the role of money in protecting these identities from filial, societal and cultural rip currents; and attempt to befuddle one another using guerrilla-style questioning.
