In this episode of #ChapsOut, host Grant Philpott is joined by Gil Cruz, who shares his honest and often humorous journey of coming out later in life. From growing up in a traditional Filipino Catholic family to navigating a secret double life across London, Canada, Japan and beyond, Gil opens up about the moment he finally chose to live authentically. He reflects on the reality that “the anticipation is always worse than reality,” the freedom of lifting that “huge weight off your shoulders,” and why it’s so important to “do it for yourself.”

This is a powerful, reassuring conversation for anyone questioning their identity, struggling to come out, or looking for real stories that remind you that- You are not alone.
