Full Episode
Welcome to the shit show. Things are going to get weird. It's your fave villain, Kale Lowry. And you're listening to Barely Famous. Happy Friday, everyone. Welcome to Barely Famous. Kristen's sitting with Elliot and myself for this episode. And she's not on camera, but she will be interviewing us for Elliot's episode. Happy Pride, everyone. I'm super excited to sit here with my son, Elliot.
And Isaac is going by Elliot now. We'll talk about why I didn't wear any makeup today because I... Figured I'd probably cry at some point. And, um, it's probably best just to go in fresh face. I'm super excited and also nervous apprehensive a little bit because obviously this is a very sensitive subject or maybe should be treated with care. Um,
I have some reservations about what we're discussing today because obviously this is my son and I don't want to ever put a target on his back or put him in a dangerous position. But with that being said, still want him to live his truth and live authentically and be proud of who he is because we're all proud of him. And yeah, Don't cry already. I love you.
And I'm not crying because I don't want to do this. I'm just crying because this is a really, this shows your strength. I'm just really proud of you. It's a really brave thing to do because not everyone can or wants to, or has the safe space to live authentically like themselves. And so just tears of pride, truly being proud of you.
And, you know, I know that we've, we've faced a lot of challenges leading up to this point and, Um, Not that I ever didn't want you to share who you are with the world, but I just out of protection wanted to make sure it was the right time and the right place and in the right way.
Because I think a lot of times I have wanted to say things about myself or explain myself or prove everybody wrong in some way. And my friends will be like, Kale, just wait. Like there's a right time and there's a right place and there's a right way to do it. And you're going to regret it if you do it any other way. So just sleep on it. Give it some time.
And I feel like that's exactly what we're doing today is finally being able to share your story on your terms and your words and not letting other people influence your decision or take away your autonomy and your ability to share your own story. So it's going to be an emotional experience. Episode 90 seconds in already crying. So I'm just proud of you.
And I hope that maybe this will help somebody watching the story, like look at someone that they love, and maybe they have been homophobic or haven't been supportive of someone.
you know being gay or part of the queer community I really hope that this will challenge them and cause them to self-reflect a little bit and understand that like it doesn't matter who you love at the end of the day like as long as you're happy and safe like that is the goal right like life is hard enough I don't I don't get it and I have just loved you through all of it through everything so that's my little those are my feelings
