#71: Celebrating Pride: Coming Out and Being an Ally with Netflix Star Keauno Perez
Show Notes

Keauno Perez aka Keke (@keaunoperez), one of the stars of Netflix's Twentysomethings: Austin, is maybe most notably known for publicly coming out as a gay man when he moved to the booming city. Particularly in observance of Pride month, we sat down for a conversation around his experience and being an ally.

In this episode: 

  • Why Keke almost backed out of being apart of the show last minute 
  • The pros and cons of 'coming out' in a very public fashion
  • How to support someone who's newly coming out and/or exploring their sexual orientation
  • Ways that Austin has been particularly helpful and inclusive 
  • and more!
