A Different Kind of Coming Out: A ‘Nancy’ Pride Special

Sunday, June 23 at 6 p.m. on WFIU

In this hour-long episode of Nancy, the critically acclaimed podcast about the queer experience, hosts Tobin Low and Kathy Tu bring you three stories about different kinds of coming out. You'll hear from two gay men of different generations about what it's like to disclose their HIV status; a young woman who tracks down the queer role model she didn't know she needed; and a young man trying to save his father's life, even if it means a painful confrontation.
