Talking Growing Up Gay In Utah, Expressing Identity, & Finding Confidence

In this Episode one of Jaycee’s best friends, Gregory Sano joins the pod for a deep, unfiltered conversation about identity, expression, and growing up different. He shares his experience being Japanese in Utah, navigating queerness in a predominantly white and conservative environment, and how that shaped his perspective. They dive into his relationship with gender pronouns, why he chooses to dress in a way that feels most authentic, and the challenges of dating as a queer person. Plus, the boys bond over their shared love for fashion and how style can be both a form of self-expression and a statement. It’s a conversation about embracing who you are—without apology.

Hope you enjoy this episode just as much as I do. It's my dream to grow this podcast, so please leave a review as it would mean the world! Love you and stay HOLESOME!! - Jaycee Intro & Outro by Will Gooding (@thorns.wav)
