Amber Whittington (@AmbersCloset) | Coming Out, STEM Lesbians & Building Community

Send us Fan MailFor over a decade, Amber Whittington (she/her)...aka @AmbersCloset...has been the person lesbians turn to when they're figuring it all out. And today she's sitting down with PJ Brescia (they/them) on the BabyGay™ Podcast.I sat down with Amber at The Black Cat in Silver Lake for a coming out conversation I honestly didn't want to end. Since 2012 she has built a massive community by doing one radical thing: showing up as her full, authentic self.Amber took me all the way back...Catholic school, secret girlfriends, beards, and a college love story that put her right back in the closet. We talked about the job ultimatum that accidentally launched her content creator career, what it means to coin a term that changes how people see themselves (aka STEM), and why the community isn't always as inclusive as we like to think. Excited for y'all to watch this one.Remember BabyGays...coming out looks good on you! 🏳️‍🌈Follow Amber Whittington:Instagram: @AmbersClosetYouTube: @AmbersClosetTikTok: @AmbersCloset33Facebook: @AmbersClosetFollow BabyGay™:Instagram: @BabyGayTVYouTube: @BabyGayTVTikTok: @BabyGayTVFacebook: @BabyGayFollow PJ Brescia:Instagram: @PJBresciaTikTok: @PJBresciaBabyGay™ Podcast, a 2026 Webby Honoree for Best New Podcast, is released every Thursday and hosted by PJ Brescia (they/them)—a 2025 Out100 honoree—celebrating queer stories, self-discovery, and the power of authenticity.Produced by Tom Gault and PJ Brescia. Special thanks to The Black Cat.Follow, like, and subscribe on TikTok , Instagram , and YouTube: @babygaytvwww.baby.gay
