Gok Wan talks sexuality, masculinity and his battle against gay racial stereotypes

In episode 11, editor-in-chief Matt Cain chats to TV fashion guru Gok Wan. He talks about being persecuted as a mixed-race, overweight child, how he learned to use his camp as a shield, and his sexual and psychological awakening as a gay man. He also shares his thoughts on masculinity and the prejudice he’s encountered as a Chinese gay man who publicly embraces his femininity.
