In the ninth episode of "10 Years Out: Stories from My Queer Community," host Sam Fagan welcomes the incredibly talented John-Allison Weiss, a trans-masc, queer musician, for an inspiring conversation about their ongoing process of self-discovery.

As a successful indie musician, John-Allison has found solace and empowerment through their music, but their journey of self-acceptance and coming out hasn't always been a straightforward one. Join Sam and Johnny as they delve into the multifaceted layers of their personal narrative, exploring the intersections of their queer identity and the evolving understanding of their gender.

Discover how Johnny first came out as gay, only to later realize their true trans identity. Together, they highlight the significance of finding one's own unique path and how coming out is a continuous process of growth and self-exploration. As they navigate the complexities of their own experiences, they emphasize that there is no singular right way to come out or define oneself within the queer community.

Throughout the episode, Sam and John-Allison celebrate the diverse and vibrant world of queer music, discussing the rise of remarkable LGBTQ+ bands and artists. They showcase the power of music as a medium for self-expression, healing, and connecting with others who share similar journeys.
