A new podcast is providing a safe space for Latinx LGBTQ voices to be heard.
From sex to circuit parties to religious upbringings, no topic is off limits for the two Mexican Americans behind the new podcast.
“I don’t remember honestly,” a puzzled Gerardo Zubiri responded, eventually recounting a moment when he tried on his mom’s heels to make his sister laugh.In The Papiverse, no topic is off-limits. The podcast, which premiered in July, is hosted by Morales and Zubiri. The program delves into issues facing the Latine LGBTQ community, childhood memories, queer awakenings and other topics from the host’s extended universe – their Papiverse.
Growing up queer in a less-than-accepting society has its challenges, Morales said. After initial reluctance about embracing his queer identity, Morales now celebrates being gay. Eventually, Zubiri attended Sunset High School and, to his surprise, found the space to grow in an environment he didn’t expect to. The friends he met gave him the strength to stop hiding.Being queer and Latino introduces distinct family struggles: religious and traditionally conservative upbringings and the expectation to display an aggressively masculine, “machismo” mentality, Zubiri said.
