Waking Up Gay With Ray
Episode 1
Tuesday, 3 June, 2025

An intro to your host: Ray. Coming into adulthood, politics, and queerness are an interwoven story of pain, resiliency, and self-reclamation. I made the impossible decision at 18 to forgo a relationship with my father because I believed there was a future version of me that no longer lived in fear. It took me years to realize I wasn't just an ally in queerness, or an accomplice, but a card-holding member. I have found a lot of comfort in queer storytelling and hope to showcase that through the conversations I continue to have on this show. Along with politics and healthcare, and sex!! Buckle up!!
