Deacon Maccubbin & Jim Bennett

Every member of the LGBTQ community has ‘their story.’ It’s the moment they not only admitted who they truly are to their friends and family, but also to themselves. On “Out With Jimmy Alexander,” you’ll hear their coming out stories. Jimmy, who was outed when he was in his 30s, calls that experience “the worst moment of my life that led to the happiest time of my life.” During Jimmy’s 25-year broadcast career, he’s interviewed iconic movie stars, famous musicians and three different Presidents. Now, Jimmy sits down with real people as they share the moment when they realized they were not alone.
