<p><span>Jullian Culas&rsquo; lust for life shows us that love and attraction are borderless territories. It shouldn&rsquo;t be an exclusive category but rather an expansive realm to express one&rsquo;s story.</span></p>

<p><span>&ldquo;Do you want Sprite?&rdquo; Jullian Culas breaks the silence, a bemused </span><span>kampai </span><span>in disguise. Lithe, angular, and crowned with curls, he could pass for a muse of </span><span>Hedi Slimane</span><span>. But trade the usual ennui for a spritz of spirited rizz.</span></p>
<p><span>This aesthete loves Paris when it sizzles. Travel &mdash; especially in the French capital &mdash; unlocked a side of him that not only appreciates beauty around him, but within him.</span></p>
<p><span>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m surrounded by a lot of beautiful people. My friends and peers from fashion are all beautiful. What is beauty, really, you know? When it&rsquo;s there, you just have to take it; your gender cannot deny that.&rdquo; I say, &ldquo;That&rsquo;s very French of you. You should watch </span><span>The Dreamers </span><span>by </span><span>Bertolucci</span><span>. It&rsquo;s a tale about desire without fine lines.&rdquo;</span></p>

<p><span>He notes it, recalling his early days in Manila &mdash; when he was seen as either too skinny or too ambiguous. It didn&rsquo;t take long for that to shift. &ldquo;Every time I experienced another market that knows how to handle androgyny, I slowly understood what it was,&rdquo; he says.</span></p>
<p><span>Jullian attracts open-endedness, even in his career. He&rsquo;s part of </span><span>Open House World</span><span>, a brand experience group and &ldquo;all-in-one creative hub for people to just be.&rdquo; Whether he&rsquo;s modeling or marketing, he&rsquo;s punctuating how love lives and thrives in the fringes. &ldquo;Pride is reminding ourselves that we can be unapologetically us every day. It&rsquo;s you living the real you.&rdquo;</span></p>

<p><strong>What&rsquo;s your favorite song to celebrate Pride? (aka your lip sync for life)</strong></p>
<p><span>Any Gaga song, to be honest! [Laughs] But one that truly speaks Pride to me is </span><span>Heaven </span><span>by Troye Sivan. Listen to it. Feel the lyrics. It hits hard.</span></p>
<p><strong>What makes you feel seen? What does safety look like for you in queer terms &mdash; not just physical safety, but emotional, romantic, creative safety?</strong></p>
<p><span>Being with my core people &mdash; my closest friends. Being vulnerable with them in all aspects. Speaking my mind without judgment and listening when I&rsquo;m being told. Sharing the beauty and struggles of life from&nbsp;</span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; letter-spacing: 0px;">our own personal perspectives. Celebrating the ups and downs with them, where I can be me and we can be truly us. Best feeling ever.</span></p>
<p><strong style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Can you share some acts of affirmation that boost your sense of Pride?</strong></p>

<p><span>Not being singled out in any situation because of my identity, and just being respected for who I am. When there&rsquo;s no special treatment just because I'm gay.</span></p>
<p><strong>What&rsquo;s one thing you no longer shrink for?</strong></p>
<p><span>Just being more expressive in general &mdash; my fashion, my work, my opinions, my worth. Not giving a damn about what people say, only the opinions of those who truly matter to me.</span></p>
<p><strong>How are you celebrating Pride this year?</strong></p>
<p><span>I&rsquo;ll be in Seoul this year&rsquo;s Pride. I don&rsquo;t know what to expect. It should be interesting.</span></p>
