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
VJ Rosales (The Filharmonic): Finding His Voice After Coming Out

Ever felt like you came out “late” or struggled to say the words I’m gay out loud for the first time? On this week’s BabyGay™ Podcast, host PJ Brescia (they/them) sits down with VJ Rosales (he/him)—singer, vocal coach on The Masked Singer, and member of the internationally celebrated a cappella group The Filharmonic. From performing in Pitch Perfect 2 to touring the world and appearing on The Late Late Show with James Corden, VJ has built an incredible career through music.
But behind the spotlight is a deeply personal coming out story. VJ Rosales shares what it was like growing up in a Filipino household in Southern California, navigating cultural expectations, and losing his mother before she could fully know his authentic self. PJ and VJ also talk about the fear of saying “I’m gay” for the first time, why there’s no universal timeline for coming out, and the freedom that comes with living authentically as part of the LGBTQ+ community.
