About this episode

Over the course of the show, I’ve been able to share some of my personal life with you – from meeting Justin and our decision to get married, to parenting our two sons. It means a lot to me that we can have those conversations especially at a time when the rights of queer people, especially in the trans community, are under attack.


It’s been so special to have these conversations with my guests as well.


First up, “Star Trek” star Zachary Quinto. Over salads at American Bar in the West Village, we discuss his decision to come out publicly and our fun romps around Silver Lake gay bars in our 20s.


Then, we have podcast host, haircare entrepreneur and “Queer Eye” star Jonathan Van Ness. Jonathan tells me what it’s like to live in Texas as a queer person, their journey to discovering their nonbinary identity and why a guinea pig named Peanut is causing a stir in some libraries.


A Sony Music Entertainment & A Kid Named Beckett production.
