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! 🌈

What happens when one of the funniest women on television walks into The BabyGay™ Podcast? We almost peed our pants. You’ll see...
This week, PJ Brescia (they/them) sits down with actress, comedienne, writer, painter, and recent Las Vegas Pride Celebrity Grand Marshal, Lauren Weedman (she/her). From her scene-stealing turn as Doris on HBO’s Looking to her unforgettable Mayor of Las Vegas on Hacks, Lauren has built a career playing bold, complicated, and wildly funny women. You’ve also seen her in Hung, The Daily Show, Date Night, Arrested Development, Euphoria, and her many acclaimed solo shows.
In this episode, Lauren shares behind-the-scenes stories from Looking, reflects on filming in San Francisco’s Castro and realizing she was stepping into living LGBTQ+ history, and talks about growing up around closeted gay men in the ’80s. The conversation swings from dating disasters to Pride parades, from body image to creative obsession. Literally… I almost peed.
Get tickets to Lauren’s upcoming show, I Want the Best For You, on March 20 at The Crow at Bergamot Station in Santa Monica. She’ll be auctioning her artwork to benefit CHIRLA (The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights).
Coming out looks good on you! 🌈
