"I think we're gonna see a totally new generation of homosexuals."

Manila Luzon has discussed coming out to her parents, Asian representation on TV, the evolution of drag and how it has impacted the LGBT community in a new interview with NBC News.

“I always wanted to be a drag queen,” said Luzon. “I didn’t tell anyone I wanted to be a drag queen, I just kind of went into my mom’s closet.”

On RuPaul’s Drag Race influencing a new generation of LGBT youth to embrace their authentic selves earlier in life, the season 3 finalist said:

“I just met some moms and their sons and their daughters, and they’re all coming out here to watch drag together. I think it’s super cool that times are changing, people are more into it [drag,] and more open to it at a younger age. It’s kind of cool to see people expressing that part of themselves so early in their lives. I think we’re gonna see a totally new generation of homosexuals out there just being fierce and fabulous, and I’m really excited that I get to see this and that I’m influencing that.”
