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
Joji Florence: Miss Major Middle, Non-Binary Identity & Performing Gender
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Here’s what happens when you stop trying to fit into society’s expectations and finally embrace your true identity...
On this week’s BabyGay™ Podcast, host PJ Brescia (they/them) sits down with Joji Florence (they/them), non-binary educator, activist, and co-founder of Miss Major Middle — a groundbreaking genderful, tuition-free public middle school opening in Brooklyn, New York in Fall 2027.
Joji opens up about growing up in Milwaukee, navigating gender from an early age, coming out later in life, and learning to embrace life outside of traditional boxes. Together, PJ and Joji have an emotional and powerful conversation about being non-binary, pronouns, transitioning, queer visibility, LGBTQ+ youth, and what it means to stop “performing” gender and start living authentically.
They also dive into the inspiration behind Miss Major Middle, a revolutionary new school model designed to create joyful, affirming spaces where LGBTQ+ students can fully explore who they are through storytelling, creativity, performance, and community.
Coming out looks good on you!
