"I haven't said this publicly yet, but I'm a queer person," Kelly Marie Tran said.
"The thing that really excited me about it was I got to play a person that I felt like I knew," Tran said about starring in The Wedding Banquet, by queer filmmaker Andrew Ahn (Fire Island). "I don't feel like I'm acting at all in this movie."
"I'm here doing this amazing movie with these amazing people," she continued. "I've never been in a queer space before. I've truly never felt this accepted."
The Wedding Banquet stars Tran as Angela, a woman trying to have a baby with her girlfriend (Lily Gladstone), who comes up with a plan with her friend Min to have a fake wedding so he can get a green card and she can raise money for IVF treatment. The film also stars Bowen Yang.
