Coming Out, Pero Make It Latino

from Calma Podcast · host CALMA LLC

What does it mean to “come out” when you grow up in a Latino immigrant family, where love runs deep, but silence does too?In this episode, I sit down with my close friend Jeanfelix Chavez, “Felix”, who, like me, figured out early on that we were a little different. We talk about everything from our gay awakenings and awkward childhood crushes to the unspoken family dynamics that shaped how we saw ourselves.We get honest (and a little chaotic) about the mix of love, fear, and humor that comes with growing up queer in a Latino household learning to honor our parents’ journeys while still finding space for our own. 🌈This is Part 1 of Felix’s story—where he takes us through the highs, lows, and healing that came with accepting himself. Grab a marg, a cafecito, or whatever fuels your soul, and join us for a conversation that’s as real, messy, and heartfelt as life itself.
