Baby Gay: Queer Culture Unfiltered
The BabyGay™ Podcast drops every Thursday...your front-row seat to real, unfiltered queer stories. Hosted by PJ Brescia (they/them) — a 2025 Out100 honoree — and recorded at the iconic Black Cat in Silverlake, CA, birthplace of queer resistance.
Each week, PJ sits down with incredible guests to talk about coming out, awkward first kisses, career paths, and those big, beautiful “aha” moments that make us who we are. It’s funny, heartfelt, and unapologetically queer.
Beyond the mic, BabyGay™ is a community — the team behind the campaign that helped make National Coming Out Day an official Los Angeles city holiday, and creators of the Welcome-Wagon Box initiative, supporting people through their coming out journey.
Subscribe, share, and join our chosen family. Whether you’re questioning, newly out, or just love authentic LGBTQ+ stories... you’re exactly where you’re meant to be. And remember: there’s no “right way” to be queer.
Welcome to BabyGay. Coming out looks good on you! 🌈
Baby Gay: Queer Culture Unfiltered
Kate Lav: Sobriety, Sniffies & Self-Discovery (Live at The Black Cat)

Ever felt like you weren’t “queer enough” to come out? Or wondered if you need a label to belong? This episode is for anyone who’s still figuring it out.
Recorded live at the historic Black Cat in Silver Lake, BabyGay™ Podcast host PJ Brescia (they/them) welcomes comedian and Six Feet Above podcast host Kate Lav for a vulnerable, hilarious, and deeply relatable conversation about queer identity, sobriety, demisexuality, and modern dating culture. From first queer crushes to bi-erasure, hookup apps like Sniffies, to the search for genuine connection, Kate and PJ keep it honest and unfiltered.
They also get real about healing after addiction, finding your voice in stand-up comedy, and what it means to take up space as your full self — even when you’re still unsure who that is.
You’re not alone. This conversation is proof that there’s no one way to be queer...and no deadline to claim your truth.
