Out of the Closet, Into Our Truth

Coming out is rarely simple—and sometimes the people who help you find your voice are the ones you least expect.

This week on Sweet Tea & Side Eye, we’re celebrating National Coming Out Day by sharing our own stories. Josh looks back on coming out in high school, the unexpected people who helped him through it, the people he loved, and where those relationships stand today.

Then Dustin shares how love led him out of the closet. Even when Bible verses and pressure to return to his old ways came his way, he kept choosing to be true to himself—and that’s one of the many reasons we love him.

Pour yourself a glass of sweet tea and join us for an honest conversation about love, faith, friendship, and finding the courage to live out loud. Whether you’re out, still figuring things out, or supporting someone you love, there’s a seat at our table for you. ????
