  • Episode 1: Join Mattie Westbrouck (@westbrouck) as they dive into Closet Talk, where each week they’ll share their intimate personal experiences with growing up, coming out, and embracing their identity. From sharing stories about being closeted in middle school, to mental health struggles in high school, to unpacking the queer experience with guest co-hosts, Mattie creates a space for the community to feel seen. In the very first episode, Mattie begins at the beginning with their first queer experiences in elementary and middle school. They talk about their first crush and not knowing what it was, feeling pressured to like boys and "picking" who they liked, hearing about gay people for the first time, and why Hayley Kiyoko has earned a spot in the Queer History hall of fame.

    Hey Mattie, when I grew up I always thought I liked boys but as I got older I started to get crushes on girls. I was only in middle school at the time and I didn't know what to do. When I saw you and watched this it helped me out. I wonder though, how do you tell someone that you like them without scaring them away?

Love is love it doesn’t matter if you are the same sex or not as long as they treat each other right! Looking forward to next episode xx

    Mattie you are oh so loved and appreciated throughout the LGBTQ+ community. Spreading your story will help so many individuals feel safe and comfortable in their own skin. Words can't express how proud we all are of you. Seeing how comfortable and brave you are will help others in their own journey. Don't let anyone push you down or make you feel less than. You truly are an angel from above helping others feel less alone. 🖤💜🖤 Sending all my light, love, and happiness your way.

    This reminded me of the time when I was in elementary school and my friend asked me who did I have a crush on? And in my head I'm like Crush? So I made up some guy that was in my class which I honestly didn't have a crush on and they always tried to get me to ask him out. But secretly my friend's best friend was the one that I had a crush on. That's when I came home and ask my mom if it was okay for girls to be with other girls.

When I was in fourth grade (I’m 13 now lol) I watched SO MANY queer TikTok compilations on CZcams (I didn’t have TikTok) and I started to think like “oh I relate to this but I’m not gay…” (spoiler alert: I was) but then I started to think about this girl in my class named Jessie and how I REALLY wanted to be around her ALL THE TIME and guess what! Now I’m a lesbian lmao so yea…
