In this episode of Alec Mapa: Hot Mess with Matthew Dempsey Psychotherapist, Alec and Matthew welcome drag race stand-out, artist, singer, and master of her “cucu” Cynthia Lee Fontaine. Alec and Matt share their coming out stories, their fears of being rejected, and the impact being in the closet had on their mental health. Cynthia Lee Fontaine tells the shocking story of how her mom found out her truth and the process of working through her mother’s feelings of betrayal. Cynthia explores the stigma of coming out in the Hispanic community and how she thinks things are evolving in a positive direction. The three talk about the journey of first coming out to yourself and then to others, the importance of having grace with loved ones during the process, and the freedom that comes from living in your own truth.
