- My pop culture, ***** awakening. - (laughing) Nobody's asked me this before. (Tre'vell laughing) - This is gonna reveal way too much about me. (upbeat music) - Every day, I feel like I'm having a new pop culture ***** awakening. - I don't know if there was a ***** awakening. Because, since the age of seven I was like, competitively tap dancing. We started at like a 90 and just like, raised it up to a hundred. - So my personal ***** awakening was probably MTV. - It was the season of 'The Real World,' where Karamo was on it. I felt such a kinship of being like, "Oh, this is something I've been missing. I need to watch this." So that was like a moment where I was like, "Oh yes, I am homosexual." (Dewayne laughing) - 'Real World: New Orleans.' Thinking that Danny was the hottest thing. He did have a soul patch, but it was of the era. I think he's grown out of it by now. Hopefully. - Gillian Anderson on 'The X-Files.' There was something about that red hair that did it for me. And then Jennifer Anist- all the women on 'Friends.' - 'The O.C.' For sure. Ryan? Seth? If you're out there. - Queen Latifah, first of all, in general. (laughing) I remember seeing Queen Latifah in 'Set It Off' and being like, "Oh, that exists." - 'Rocky Horror Picture Show.' - Wait, 'Rocky Horror Picture Show' is your ***** awakening? - Oh, yeah. - Why? Why? I mean, I can assume, but why. - Those bodies. - Those bod- Who's body? - I'm attracted to all of them. (Zach laughing) Because all of them were just like, lascivious. - (laughing) That is so funny. - Batman and Robin. I'm not sure what it was. Maybe it was their bodies. - Dylan from Bratz Dolls. I don't know how proud of that I am, but it's definitely something. - Watching Selena for the first time. I saw Selena and I said, "That is me. I wanna be her. I am a woman and I wanna look like that." - Seeing RuPaul on 'Sister, Sister' with Tia and Tamera Mowry. I had no idea what gay people were. I had no idea what a drag queen was. I just thought that this was the most glamorous, tallest woman I had ever seen in my life. And something about her just drew me in and made me feel like I could dress up and I could have fun. - Beyoncé literally ripped me out of the closet. - I am a Britney girl. When she came out with her first hit, 'Hit Me, Baby One More Time,' I was 13 years old. And for me, that was kind of like, "Who is this person?" - I think it was Whitney Houston. Her feminine energy was so powerful to me. I was like, "Huh, I'm gay." (Jasmine laughing) - I used to watch a ton of Prince videos on YouTube when I was like 12 or 13. And like, Prince's first ever live performance is him in this like, leopard print leotard and like high heels. And he has like, this long, blown out hair. There was something about that video right there. I'm just like, "Oh, I don't know what to do with that information quite yet but that's gonna make an impact." - Missy Elliott. Yeah. Not saying that she is *****, that's up for her to disclose. Her music. Because I would listen to it in the car with my mom. And let me tell you, when you start singing, "I don't want no one minute man..." (Sam laughing) It makes you think about your future and what you're saying. - My pop culture ***** awakening was when I first saw The Pussycat Doll girls. And, I remember seeing the lead singer, I don't know what she was doing but I thought she was talking to me like, for sure. Maybe it was like "Don't you wish your girlfriend was hot like me?" And then I was like, "Yeah!" - My ***** awakening would probably have to be, 'Cruel Intentions.' When Ryan Phillippe came out of that pool. - [Marla] Oh, yeah. - And I saw that juicy ***. (Marla laughing) And I was like, "What the actual (bleep) is happening?" - I don't know if you've ever seen, 'But I'm a Cheerleader.' (Somah laughing) But, Natasha Lyonne has always been one of my biggest crushes. - I guess they say TV shouldn't make you gay, but watching 'Dynasty,' watching 'Falcon Crest,' I don't know. (Kyle laughing) - The character of Noah on 'Noah's Arc.' Shout out to Logo. - I think it was Brad Pitt in 'Mr. & Mrs. Smith.' Which feels like a real like, lame thing to say. But I mean, it is what it is. He was hot. He still is hot, actually. - I was watching 'Dirty Dancing.' And you know, there's the infamous scene where Patrick Swayze holds up Jennifer Grey, not the last scene, but in the water. I was like, "Oh my Go-" (gasps) I felt stuff to Jennifer Grey. And my brother's like, "Wait, you like Patrick Swayze?" And I was like, "No." And then it was that kind of moment like, oh ****. - But you know when you get a chiropractor adjustment? And it's like, (imitates neck cracking) and you're like, ah. That's what it was like, I was like, (imitates neck cracking) gay. (upbeat music)
