Coming Out, Showing Up, and Shining Bright -- LIVE at Generations Conference

Air Date: Friday, June 6, 2025

We're coming to you live from the Generations Conference in Salt Lake City for a powerful reunion episode of the Mindfully Gay Podcast with John, Jerry, and the long-awaited return of Nick!

In front of a live audience of clinicians, therapists, and LGBTQ+ allies, our trio tackles one of the most vital questions of our time:

Is coming out still necessary in today's world?

This candid conversation explores the evolution of coming out, the impact of ethnicity, religion, masculinity, and shame, and how experiences vary across age, culture, and geography. With raw honesty, humor, and heartfelt wisdom, John, Jerry, and Nick guide listeners through what it means to live authentically and love boldly in 2025.

You'll hear personal stories, emotional audience reflections, and powerful affirmations of queer resilience and community. From supporting trans youth and incarcerated queer clients, to celebrating gay blessings and radical love--this episode is a moving celebration of queer truth.
