If you’ve ever been outed before you were ready, struggled to feel seen in queer spaces, or wondered where you fit in this big, messy LGBTQ+ world...this episode is for you.

Recorded in May 2024 at the historic Black Cat in Los Angeles, this was the very first BabyGay™ Podcast episode ever captured.

Simy shares what it was like growing up in conservative Southern California, being outed at 13, surviving trauma, reconnecting with her roots, and carving space as a femme trans artist. If you’re searching for real coming out stories, trans representation in music, or LGBTQ+ podcasts that go deep...you’re in the right place.

Featuring Simy’s track “Lilith Temptation” and a preview of her album: ...ME!

Ever felt like you weren’t “queer enough” to come out? Or wondered if you need a label to belong? This episode is for anyone who’s still figuring it out.

Recorded live at the historic Black Cat in Silver Lake, BabyGay™ Podcast host PJ Brescia (they/them) welcomes comedian and Six Feet Above podcast host Kate Lav for a vulnerable, hilarious, and deeply relatable conversation about queer identity, sobriety, demisexuality, and modern dating culture. From first queer crushes to bi-erasure, hookup apps like Sniffies, to the search for genuine connection, Kate and PJ keep it honest and unfiltered.

They also get real about healing after addiction, finding your voice in stand-up comedy, and what it means to take up space as your full self — even when you’re still unsure who that is.

You’re not alone. This conversation is proof that there’s no one way to be queer...and no deadline to claim your truth.

What does it mean to come out late and Black in America? If you’re searching for Black queer coming out stories, advice on coming out later in life, or how to find LGBTQ+ community when you feel “behind,” this episode is for you.

On this week’s BabyGay™ Podcast, host PJ Brescia (they/them) sits down with Emmy-Nominated ABC News journalist Tim Pulliam. He shares how he came out as gay at 29 while building a public-facing career, navigating faith, family, and growing up in the Bible Belt. Together, they explore how "den mothers" and "underground gatherings" shaped Tim’s journey, moving from fear to freedom, and why it’s never too late to embrace your truth and live authentically.

Tim Pulliam is an Emmy-nominated, veteran TV journalist with nearly 20 years of experience covering breaking news, politics, race, and culture for ABC 7 Los Angeles and ABC News. He has reported on the LA wildfires, ICE raids, the George Zimmerman trial, and the opening of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture. His reporting on the Michael Dunn murder trial was featured in the HBO documentary 3 ½ Minutes: Ten Bullets. Tim has been honored by the National Association of Black Journalists and named Reporter of the Year by the Associated Press and RTDNAC.

If you’ve ever wondered how to overcome internalized homophobia, find your queer community, or take your first steps toward coming out, you’ll find encouragement and clarity here. This episode reminds you that coming out is a journey, not a race... and that you’re never too late.
