In this episode, Jude and Xavier dive into the topic everyone always asks about: coming out.
Not just the “big announcement,” but the entire coming out journey, including the confusion, the fear, the build up, the aftermath and all the queer experiences that happen long before anyone says the words out loud.
Jude and Xavier talk honestly about identity, denial, internalised homophobia, being outed accidentally, losing friendships, finding safe people and the quiet loneliness many LGBTQ+ kids carry before they have the language for it.
They also explore the positive side of coming out, including support, healing, the people who showed up, the moments that changed everything and how coming out is not a one time event but an ongoing part of becoming your authentic self.
It is real, raw, vulnerable, funny in parts and emotional in others, and their most honest conversation yet.
