There aren’t very many Sri Lankan people in the U.S., and even fewer who are Tamil. So when Code Switch’s Kumari Devarajan found a Tamil, queer, gender-nonconforming (in some way) doppelganger, she had to talk to them. On this week’s episode, Kumari connects with D’Lo, a comedian and playwright who created a one-person show about growing up as a queer child of immigrants in the U.S. What she found was that when you share so much in common with a stranger who is putting their sometimes messy business on front street for the world to see, it can feel like they’re sharing your secrets, too.
