00:00The best part of being queer?

00:01We have the best taste in everything.

00:03I'm Amy Beth McNulty, and here are some of my most favourites.

00:06The most exciting pop star right now,

00:08it's very hard to choose because the girls are killing it.

00:10I got to see Sabrina Carpenter and Billie Eilish recently.

00:13They're definitely up there.

00:13The most overused slang is not even overused,

00:16it's just overused by me, is slay.

00:18I say it consistently and it's becoming a little bit of a problem.

00:21If someone's had a bad day at work, slay.

00:23If you're wearing a great outfit, slay.

00:25My outfit right now, slay.

00:27I'm Irish and the immediate thought is alcohol, that's really funny.

00:29Most favourite drink of choice, coffee.

00:31Consistently.

00:32I think I've had four today and jet lag's not quite gone, but we're getting there.

00:35I take my coffee iced, 2% milk, 3 sugars.

00:40Pretty basic.

00:42Most recent thirst follow.

00:44Not even gonna say it because I actually believe that I have a chance with them.

00:46If you see it, no you didn't.

00:48Most overused emoji, for me, is the bed emoji.

00:51I just send it when I text all my friends to have sweet dreams and goodnight.

00:54Most memorable gay awakening.

00:56That's so hard because there are so many.

00:58I was in London when I was 11 and I saw a woman walk out of the tube and she had blonde

01:03hair that was absolutely flown in the wind and really high heels.

01:07I immediately fell in love and truly I still think about this woman to this day.

01:11I hope you're doing, you're doing well, whoever you are.

01:14Most favourite queer city?

01:15London.

01:16For me.

01:16I mean, yes, partly because I live there, but I found my queer community there.

01:21I think it's where I feel most safe and at home.

01:23Most fond memory of coming out?

01:24There were a couple bad ones.

01:25But when I came out to my friend group, I was 13 or so.

01:31I thought it was going to be this really big emotional moment and I was all really teary-eyed

01:35and one of them said, I'm hungry and then the other said, cool.

01:39And then we moved on and we didn't talk about it again.

01:41So, like, no, seriously.

01:44And then she made food.

01:45I was like, cool.

01:47Oh, most underrated queer movie called Young Hearts.

01:50It is the most beautiful movie I've ever seen in my life and nobody has seen it.

01:55So, go watch it.

01:56Aww.

01:57Most important message for my younger self?

01:59You are going to be so loved, you don't even know.

02:01It's the best feeling in the world when you actually get to be yourself and you fall in

02:06love and you experience love that is pretty life-changing.

02:10Pretty cool.
