In this episode of Chaps Out, host Grant Philpott is joined by Jonathan Tibbs, who shares his powerful and uplifting story of coming out as gay at the age of 46.

From growing up in the 80s feeling unsure of where he fit in, to finding confidence, community, and joy later in life, Jonathan reflects on identity, self-acceptance, and the freedom that comes with finally being yourself.

Jonathan discusses the realities of coming out later in life, the importance of LGBTQ+ support networks, and how finding chosen family can be truly life-changing. A warm, honest conversation filled with humour, reflection, and hope- for anyone navigating their own coming out journey, at any age.
