Manage episode 331765832 series 3051739
Keauno Perez aka Keke (@keaunoperez), one of the stars of Netflix's Twentysomethings: Austin, is maybe most notably known for publicly coming out as a gay man when he moved to the booming city. Particularly in observance of Pride month, we sat down for a conversation around his experience and being an ally.
In this episode:
- Why Keke almost backed out of being apart of the show last minute
- The pros and cons of 'coming out' in a very public fashion
- How to support someone who's newly coming out and/or exploring their sexual orientation
- Ways that Austin has been particularly helpful and inclusive
- and more!
