Hello.

Hey y'all.

Welcome everybody. This is Coming Out with Lauren and Nicole. We are a weekly podcast where we have on queer folks from all walks of life.

They tell us the tales of how they came out to friends, family, and the world at large.

Because who doesn't love a coming out story and lots of queer conversation around coming out and other gay things?

Nicole, every time you do it, it gets better and better.

I just don't know.

No, I mean, I'm glad you did.

I left you some room to say something

because this is the episode

that people have been asking for

for many a month.

Many a months.

Yeah.

Yeah.

We're doing it. We're doing it. We have a, a, a wonderful guest who has

agreed to have a, a, a fraught conversation with us. We are here with a stand-up comedian Violet Gray.

Hello, Violet. Hello. Thank you for having me. Thank you so much

for doing this, especially because as we were saying before we started recording,

we've been emailing for a little bit, but Nicole and I met Violet and I mere moments ago.

So we are, it's not like, we're old friends and we're going to talk about a difficult subject.

It's literally, we're strangers and we're going to talk about a difficult subject.
