    A Somewhat History of Being a Sin Vergüeza

    Nate's longtime friend (and fairy Godfather) Danny, provides some context on being a "sin vergüenza" in the Latinx / Latina / Latino / Mexican-American culture. He and Nate discuss their complex (and sometimes sordid) past of navigating coming out, drinking problems, small towns, sex, and pump jacks! They also manage to provide important commentary on sex education, gay representation, gendered-double standards, and lettuce. This episode lays the groundwork for the transparency and shameless nature of the podcast and reaffirms that no subject is taboo or off-limits.
