    Gay comedian Guy Branum’s new memoir, My Life as a Goddess: A Memoir Through (Un)Popular Culture, is a wickedly smart and hilarious collection of auto-biographical essays that also ponder issues raised by modern American pop culture.

    In this excerpt from Branum’s conversation with Jeffrey Masters on The Advocate’s podcast LGBTQ&A (bit.ly/LGBTQnA), the comedian discusses his battles with depression and the way fatness—as viewed by Americans—disrupts people from enjoying their bodies, as well as why being a gay standup performing for both LGBTQ and straight audiences can be difficult.

    In your book you dismantle stereotypes: about fat people, gay people, Jewish people. I don’t think about or the sad people who go on and get yelled at.
