Baby Gay w/ Allison Ponthier – Ep. 74

You just stepped out of the closet. NOW WHAT? Musician and model
Allison Ponthier took a break from making TikToks to dyke out
with us about what it’s like being a BABY GAY! Allison left her
home in Texas and moved to New York City thinking she’d stay
in a long-distance relationship with her boyfriend, but after a few
Tinder swipes and an L Word binge, she started two-steppin’ out of
the closet. We talk about how being a baby gay is like going
through a second puberty, and discuss why everything feels so
freaking epic. We also talk about the struggle and pressure to
figure out your queer aesthetic and what it’s like to make friends
once you’re out. But before we get to revisiting our past
(Allison’s present), we rip on chatty Uber drivers and ponder the
best way to signal to other lesbians in the wild. We also answer a
listener question from a married mother who is just now coming to
terms with her bisexuality, AKA a later-in-life baby gay.
