Knowing how to take the mask off and live more authentically isn't easy especially for us gay men who learned early on to fit in by being someone else. I talk to my close friend and comedian Jimmy Fowlie about how he's able to be a professional performer and know when to turn it off and just be himself.

Jimmy and I are also teaming up to keep the conversations going on our new live weekly talkshow about gay men's issues. To watch episodes and for more information in general, be sure to check out our website at www.into.show!
