A Highkey Messy Crossover: Gay vs. Queer, Pride & Shame with Brandon Kyle Goodman

In today’s episode of Highkey, Ry and Yvie are joined by Brandon Kyle Goodman for a special crossover episode with Tell Me Something Messy. Together, they get into guilt, pride, and the ever-evolving conversation around identity, unpacking the differences between being "gay" and "queer" and why those labels can mean something different for everyone.

Brandon opens up about letting go of shame, embracing who they are, and the freedom that comes with showing up as your full self. Head over to Tell Me Something Messy to listen to part one of the conversation!
