This is the ultimate guide to coming out—philosophically, practically, and personally. Whether you’re just starting to question your identity, preparing for your first conversation, or figuring out how to rebuild your life after coming out, this video is for you. As someone who almost became a Catholic priest and now helps coach others through the coming out process, I’ve condensed everything I know—from identity labels to safety planning, to navigating family, faith, and fear—into this one video. You’ll find conversation scripts, tips, community, and real-life encouragement. Your life doesn’t start when you have all the answers. It starts the moment you get to breathe. 00:00 Intro 02:15 Understanding the Coming Out Process 11:58 The Importance of Labels and Identity 14:18 Planning and Safety Considerations 16:49 Building a Coming Out Plan 20:21 Navigating Conversations and Reactions 26:11 The Reality of Life After Coming Out 28:50 Cade's Personal Coming Out Letter 32:46 Final Thoughts and Encouragement To join our discord community for $1 or to support my work/get early access to content, check out my patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/gayextrad To be a guest on the episode, visit my YT channel and send me an email.…

In this episode of Intrinsically Ordered, Cade chats with Evelyn from Leave Laugh Love about the hidden world of Newman Guide colleges — those elite, ultra-conservative Catholic universities designed to "protect" young adults from the real world. Evelyn shares her experience attending Franciscan University, the cult-like enforcement of Catholic morality, the double lives queer students are forced to live, and the gaslighting that comes with leaving. We dive into everything from purity culture to fake academic rigor, campus surveillance, and why these colleges are obsessed with Jordan Peterson and Lila Rose. If you’re wondering whether these schools are holy havens or Catholic cults — this episode is for you. 00:00 Introduction and Guest Introduction 01:08 Criteria for Newman Guide Schools 03:05 Personal Experiences at Newman Guide Schools 06:23 Life at Franciscan University 21:25 Homeschooling and Academic Challenges 24:29 Critical Thinking and Education 36:47 Student Life and Social Dynamics 42:16 The Role of Religion in Student Life 45:20 Debating Sin and Personal Relationships 49:16 Questioning Research and Studies 01:09:45 Leaving the Catholic University 01:21:21 Final Thoughts and Advice To join our discord community for $1 or to support my work/get early access to content, check out my patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/gayextrad To be a guest on the episode, visit my YT channel and send me an email.…

Join the community and join the group discussion on discord: https://www.patreon.com/c/gayextrad I’m joined by Kevin for a deep dive into one of Catholicism’s most emotionally compelling and scientifically dubious claims: Eucharistic miracles. You’ve heard the stories—bread turning into heart tissue, bleeding hosts, and baffled scientists—but how well do these claims hold up to scrutiny? Kevin walks us through the actual studies (or lack thereof), the role of contamination, misleading narratives, and the difference between scientific integrity and religious marketing. We talk Lonciano, Buenos Aires, and Tlaxcala, plus the Catholic scientists themselves who have started to speak out. If you’ve ever felt guilt-tripped into staying Catholic because of these miracles—or you just want to understand the facts—this episode is for you. 00:00 Introduction to Eucharistic Miracles 00:34 Popular Eucharistic Miracle Claims 02:18 Scientific Investigations and Findings 04:16 Catholic Beliefs and Practices 07:57 Skepticism and Scientific Critique 20:39 Blood Type Analysis in Miracles 37:43 DNA Evidence and Its Implications 38:55 DNA Findings and Supernatural Claims 40:13 Scientific Skepticism and Contamination 45:40 Dr. Kiers' Experiment and Findings 48:05 Dr. Trian Cos' Skepticism 55:00 Economic and Social Implications of Miracles 58:55 Conclusion and Final Thoughts To join our discord community for $1 or to support my work/get early access to content, check out my patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/gayextrad To be a guest on the episode, visit my YT channel and send me an email.…

Jordan Peterson is famous for inspiring many to take religion seriously — but for me, he had the opposite effect. In this video, I walk you through how reading Maps of Meaning turned me from a devout Catholic who almost became a priest into an atheist — and how Peterson’s ideas unexpectedly helped me accept myself as a gay man. We'll dive into belief, metaphorical substrates, value hierarchies, meta-narratives, and why I eventually walked away from Peterson too.

In this critical follow-up to our earlier reflections on Pope Francis’s passing, three gay ex-Catholics break down the truth behind the progressive myth. While headlines hail him as a revolutionary, we ask: did anything actually change for queer Catholics? From catechism clauses to conversion therapy, brunch with trans folks to doctrinal silence—this episode confronts the carefully curated optics of compassion. We’re not here to hate—just to tell the truth. What could have changed? What stayed the same? What harm still hides behind a smile?

Pope Francis has passed—and within hours, I sat down with Justin from Empty Chairs for an off-the-cuff emergency podcast. As a gay ex-Catholic and a gay current Catholic, we unpack Pope Francis’s complicated legacy on LGBTQ issues. Did he really change anything? Did he do enough? Or was it all just nice-sounding words with no lasting impact? We talk about our own experiences inside the Church, from being denied vocations to being fired for our sexuality. We also dive into the real theological documents vs. the media narrative, and what the Church might look like under the next Pope. If you want an honest, emotionally raw, and well-informed queer Catholic perspective—you’re in the right place. 00:00 Introduction and Emergency Podcast Setup 00:46 Initial Reactions to Pope Francis' Passing 02:05 Pope Francis' Legacy on Queer Issues 03:06 Media Reactions and Public Perception 04:06 The 'Who Am I to Judge?'

Pope Francis has passed. And as someone who was once on the path to becoming a conservative Catholic priest—and now lives openly as a gay man—his death hits hard. In this video, I break down what Pope Francis actually did for LGBTQ Catholics. From his famous “Who am I to judge?” to his quiet yet revolutionary support of queer ministries, this pope changed the vibe of the church, even if he never changed the doctrine. For outsiders, it may be hard to grasp how radical just saying “You are welcome here” really was. In this episode, I reflect on his legacy, what’s at stake in the election of the next pope, and why so many LGBTQ Catholics now feel uncertain and afraid.

In this episode of the Intrinsically Ordered Podcast, I sit down with Minh ( @Kenapologeticscatholic ) a Catholic apologist and street evangelist, for one of the most intense and philosophical debates I’ve had on the show. We dive deep into the question of homosexuality from Catholic, secular, and philosophical angles—covering everything from natural law, metaethics, and sexual ethics to kink, bestiality, and gender abolition. As a queer ex-Catholic, I challenge Minh on the idea that gay sex is somehow less moral or meaningful. Minh presents two dense arguments based on Catholic philosophy—and I try to pull them apart with both real-world data and a more progressive ethical lens. This one isn’t for the faint of heart—but it’s a vital, rigorous discussion about what it means to be moral, sexual, and human.

In today's episode, I unpack the mental model I use when Christians try to impose their beliefs—especially around queer rights. I compare their moral arguments to veganism (yes, really) to show how the more forcefully someone wants to control others, the more evidence they need to bring to the table. Faith alone doesn’t cut it. I walk through four levels of moral imperatives and the kind of proof each one demands. From personal convictions to theocratic dogma, I explain why your certainty should match your evidence—especially if you're trying to take away my rights. This isn’t just theology—it’s epistemology. 00:00 – I Treat Homophobic Christians Like Vegans 00:30 – What Counts as a Moral Imperative? 01:00 – My Journey: From Latin Mass to Deconstruction 01:36 – Level 1: Personal Belief Requires No Proof 02:57 – Level 2: Gentle Advocacy Needs Some Evidence 05:02 – Level 3: Telling Others What to Do?

Leaving a fundamentalist or conservative form of Catholicism is more than just walking away from a church—it’s walking away from an entire worldview, identity, and sometimes your community. In this episode of Intrinsically Ordered, Evelyn from the podcast Leave Laugh Love joins us for an honest, vulnerable, and occasionally funny conversation about leaving faith as a queer person. We talk about the emotional process of leaving, what healing looks like, building a new life, and practical steps for anyone questioning their faith.

Cameron shares his personal journey into Catholicism and offers his perspective on dealing with moral dilemmas and church teachings.

I delve into the ambiguities and contradictions within Catholic teachings about sin and morality. Sharing personal stories, I highlight the lack of clarity on what actions might lead someone to hell. Using a Spider-Man meme analogy, I illustrate the contradictory views held by different Catholic authorities. I question the Church's claims of having definitive answers to moral issues, pointing out the inconsistencies and confusion among priests and church documents.

Join the community and join the group discussion on discord: https://www.patreon.com/c/gayextrad As someone who was once a zealous traditional Catholic—praying daily rosaries, attending Latin Mass, and even discerning monastic life—I've since deconverted and now reflect critically on the movement from personal experience. This isn’t a theological takedown. It’s a candid, off-the-cuff reflection on what I saw inside the movement, why it appeals to so many (especially young people and converts), and the serious questions it raises about growth, retention, and cultural relevance. We’ll cover: Why the movement feels powerful but might not be sustainable, the illusion of rapid growth in Latin Mass parishes, why many kids raised traditionally still leave the Church, the tight link between American conservatism and traditional Catholicism, how convert zeal often idealizes tradition without fully understanding it, whether you’re deep in the trad world, newly curious, or trying to make sense of what’s happening in the Church today, I hope this video gives you something to think about. 00:00 Personal Background and Deconversion 00:48 Setting the Stage: Traditional Catholicism 02:26 The Appeal and Growth of the Movement 02:58 Why This Topic Matters 03:36 Personal Journey Through Traditional Catholicism 05:39 Lack of Data and Personal Observations 06:52 Illusion of Traditional Growth 10:18 Retention and Conversion Issues 12:24 Geographical and Political Context 16:27 Convert Dominated Movement 19:23 Mental Health and Traditionalism 21:57 Interpersonal Issues in the Movement 22:43 Surface Level Kindness and Parish Politics 25:21 Cult-like Dynamics and Isolation 26:58 Performative Holiness and Scrupulosity 29:58 Intellectualism and Apologetics 31:59 Misconceptions of Happiness and Fulfillment 39:44 Conclusion and Final Thoughts To join our discord community for $1 or to support my work/get early access to content, check out my patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/gayextrad To be a guest on the episode, visit my YT channel and send me an email.…

For years, I begged God to make me straight. I read every book, watched every lecture, and tried every method of "healing." But what if being queer isn’t something to fix? What if it's something you could choose — not out of rebellion, but out of love, honesty, and freedom? In this deeply personal episode, I reflect on my journey from internalized homophobia to joyful self-acceptance, from Catholic doctrine to queer community. We explore the concept of identity, the weight of “coming out,” and what it really means to choose love — without conditions. 00:00 – I Begged God to Make Me Straight 01:23 – Would I Choose to Be Straight Now? 02:07 – Growing Up Catholic and Closeted 03:01 – “I Am” vs. “I Experience” 04:13 – Why Christians Fear the Words “I Am Gay” 05:14 – Identity, Honesty, and the Label “Queer” 07:42 – The Fork in the Road: Queer vs. Christian Paths 10:09 – Why I Chose the Queer Path — And Found Life To join our discord community for $1 or to support my work/get early access to content, check out my patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/gayextrad To be a guest on the episode, visit my YT channel and send me an email.…
