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! 🌈

For over a decade, Amber Whittington (she/her)...aka @AmbersCloset...has been the person lesbians turn to when they're figuring it all out. And today she's sitting down with PJ Brescia (they/them) on the BabyGay™ Podcast.
I sat down with Amber at The Black Cat in Silver Lake for a coming out conversation I honestly didn't want to end. Since 2012 she has built a massive community by doing one radical thing: showing up as her full, authentic self.
Amber took me all the way back...Catholic school, secret girlfriends, beards, and a college love story that put her right back in the closet. We talked about the job ultimatum that accidentally launched her content creator career, what it means to coin a term that changes how people see themselves (aka STEM), and why the community isn't always as inclusive as we like to think.
Excited for y'all to watch this one.
Remember BabyGays...coming out looks good on you! 🏳️🌈
