🏆 Webby Honoree ’26 — Best New Podcast
🏆 Best LGBTQ+ Podcast — LA Blade Readers’ Choice

The BabyGay™ Podcast drops every Thursday — real, unfiltered conversations about coming out, belonging, and becoming yourself.

Hosted by PJ Brescia (they/them) — a 2025 Out100 honoree — and recorded at the iconic Black Cat in Silver Lake, California, birthplace of queer resistance.

BabyGay™ is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit building community through storytelling, advocacy, and the Welcome-Wagon initiative supporting people through their coming out journey. We also helped lead the effort to make National Coming Out Day an official Los Angeles city holiday.

Welcome to BabyGay. Coming out looks good on you! 🌈

What happens when you stop performing who you’re supposed to be and start creating who you are? ✨ @marcopalou ‪@BabyYors‬

🌈 We need your help on October 11 🌟

BabyGay, @theblackcatla and Councilmember Hugo Soto-Martínez (@cd13losangeles ) are launching the Welcome-Wagon initiative, and we can’t do it without you!

Sunday, Oct 11 · The Black Cat

So what’s a Welcome-Wagon? It’s a care package for someone coming out, packed with affirmation, resources, handwritten SupportCards from community members who’ve been there, and lots of love. They include a year-long access to a monthly support group thru @openspacetherapycollective 💜

We’re making 100 of them in one afternoon, and that takes a lot of hands. Give us a shift and help send someone a box that says they’re not alone.

🙌 Shift 1: 1–3 PM (orientation 12 PM)
🙌 Shift 2: 3–5 PM (orientation 2 PM)
🧹 Clean-up crew: 4–6 PM (orientation 3 PM)

We need help with setup, the assembly line, the SupportCard station, greeters, partner tables and breakdown. No experience needed, just good energy ✨

We had the best time! ‪@nicfew‬ 💜

From a kid with a stutter to an award-winning stage actor, ‪@nicfew‬ story will blow you away! 🎭

On the new episode of The BabyGay™ Podcast, PJ sits down with Nic to talk about finding your voice, coming out later in life, growing up gay in the church, and learning to trust yourself on the way to your dreams.

Plus, we melt over Nic’s long-distance love story with his husband @abc7tim (another BabyGay™ Podcast alum!), and when Nic came out to his dad, his dad had some very specific advice 😂

@projectangelfood CEO @richardayoub (he/him) joins The BabyGay™ Podcast to talk coming out, community, and how volunteering can change your life. The Emmy Award-winning TV producer turned nonprofit leader now runs an org born out of the 1989 AIDS crisis that delivers 1.5M+ free, medically tailored meals a year to critically ill Angelenos.

Richard shares his coming out story, growing up half-Lebanese, half-Mexican, and Catholic in El Paso. His path wound through Tucson, Orlando, and finally Los Angeles, where at 30 years old he found himself at his first Pride parade and finally felt like he belonged.

We talk about how showing up for people you’ll never meet can transform both sides, rooting for the underdog, and how Richard took a nonprofit that was $1M underwater and turned it into a $20M+ lifeline for the LGBTQ+ community and beyond.

🌟 Please donate to Project Angel Food as they build a new campus to grow from 1.5 million to 4.5 million meals served per year. 🫶
