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! 🌈
