What happens when the people who should love you unconditionally make that love contingent on denying your authentic self? Actor Paul Cram takes us behind the curtain of his life journey - from growing up in a large Pentecostal family in the Midwest to finding his voice as an artist and openly queer man.
The conversation explores Paul's acting career, including work with Woody Harrelson and Cillian Murphy, while drawing poignant parallels between performing on screen and performing heteronormativity to survive. Paul shares how religious trauma manifested in his life - from internalized shame to suicidal ideation - and the gradual process of liberation through therapy, community, and intellectual curiosity.
