In drag and club kid culture, the freakier you look, the more beautiful you are. So, for many gender and sexually nonconforming folks, embracing being a weirdo in the nightlife scene is a wonderful way of unlocking the beauty that lies within.

Today, bearded beauty JerFay, who hosts a lip sync contest at Berlin nightclub for those in and out of drag, joins us to tell his story of growing up Baptist in Texas, falling in love with a boy in 7th grade and being forced into state mandated torture to force him to hide his sexuality.

Listen as Jerfay shares his heartbreaking story about being ripped apart from his best friend and what it took to reconnect with him years later.
