Hi, y'all. Welcome to Coming Out Pod. I am your host, Lauren. I'm still doing this thing where I'm shouting out queer roots at the top because we are a coming out podcast and queer root is near and dear to our hearts.

Shout out this week. Shout out to everyone whose queer root is David Bowie in Labrind, aka Jarith the Goblin King. That's my partner.

Wait, really? Yeah. Oh, yeah. It's absolutely his shit. Yeah.

Oh, my God.

Look at that, folks.

I told you to, like, hit me up if I shout out a queer root and hear right in, you're listening to it happen in real time. I have successfully guessed a queer root of not our guest, but someone intimately close to our guests. So,

bravo for me. Let me introduce you, since we are already speaking. Folks, I am here today

with Jupiter Zirquah, an amazing last name. Jupiter and I met, or, you know, virtually met on

Twitter many years ago, back when it was still called Twitter, although I will never call it X, because that is, uh, stupid as fuck. Um, Jupiter made the wise decision to get off of that platform. Um, but Jupiter reached out because so you are in your, Jupiter's the musician behind

Stuffie Doll and Max Damage. Those are their two bands. And you are in the process of recording

an album that has many queer themes, which we will speak of. But yeah, Jupiter reached out

and was like, hey, I'm recording this album.

Could we chat about it?

And I was like, I would love to meet someone who I've only known through my tiny phone screen.

And yet, so Jupiter, do you want to share?

How do you identify?

Certainly.

I'm Jupiter.

This is a corny answer. this is an answer that is bred

out of uh being raised in like the deep south in florida but like i do tend to think of myself

as like musician first and then also she they and then also like pansexual um yeah i i tend to i and a little bit

this is because i'm in a stable relationship now and so i don't have to think about my like
