Coming Out, Self-Acceptance, and Being Gay: My Story

In this deeply personal solo episode, Jonny Thyne turns the mic inward to share his coming out story—raw, unfiltered, and decades in the making. From childhood innocence to internal battles, from self-harm to self-acceptance, Jonny walks us through the moments that shaped his identity and nearly broke him.This episode is a love letter to queer people—those still in the closet, those out but still healing, and those who never had the safety to speak their truth. It’s also a heartfelt invitation to allies, especially straight and cisgender listeners, to understand just how much bravery it takes simply to exist.If you’ve ever struggled to feel safe in your own skin… this one’s for you.Content warning: This episode includes discussion of self-harm and suicide.Resources mentioned:The Trevor Project: 1-866-488-7386Suicide & Crisis Lifeline: 988
