INDEPENDENCE PRIDE 2026

In this Pride Month episode of His Panic Podcast, Herman sits down with Phillip Valdez for an honest conversation about growing up gay, Latino, and deeply rooted in faith. Phillip shares his journey from childhood to adulthood, reflecting on family, identity, religion, acceptance, and the moments that shaped his life.

Together, they explore the challenges of living authentically, the role of community, the evolution of LGBTQ+ acceptance, and what Pride means today. Rather than focusing on politics, this episode centers on the human experience, resilience, and the importance of being seen for who you are.

This is a conversation about family, faith, courage, and the lifelong journey toward authenticity.
