about

PJ Brescia

BabyGay, founded in 2023 by PJ Brescia, is a queer & ally community celebrating the coming out process through storytelling and togetherness. Since its launch at the LA LGBT Center, BabyGay has evolved into a larger platform, partnering with organizations like the LA City Council, The Black Cat, and the AT Center to create impactful events. The organization has also participated at numerous Pride Festivals, including LA Pride, SD Pride, SaMo Pride, Venice Pride and more, amplifying queer voices and creating spaces for connection and celebration.


At the heart of BabyGay's mission is the belief that while coming out is tough, it doesn't need to be so lonely. The organization curates community events featuring performances from queer artists, storytellers, and comedians, all aimed at helping newly out individuals, or "BabyGays," find acceptance and healing through levity and shared experiences. One of BabyGay's most innovative initiatives is the Welcome-Wagon Box, an essential kit for those just coming out, which includes handwritten postcards of support from community members. Through these efforts, BabyGay continues to provide vital support and connection for LGBTQ+ individuals throughout their coming out journey and beyond.
