Sometimes before we have the language to describe ourselves, we have the culture in front of us to help — the movies, TV shows, and music we listened to and watched that's had a lasting impact. In honor of Pride Month, we ask three creatives about the culture that made them queer: writer, actor, and producer <a href="https://www.instagram.com/lenawaithe/?hl=en">Lena Waithe</a>; Tony Award-winning actor and singer <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thealexnewell/?hl=en">Alex Newell</a>; and writer and comedian <a href="https://twitter.com/guybranum?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor">Guy Branum</a>. Plus, Sam shares his own story. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit <a href="https://podcastchoices.com/adchoices">podcastchoices.com/adchoices</a>
