Welcome to Queer Sacramento!
This first full episode will be about me, my coming out process, and my experience with the ICOC (International Church of Christ).

Q-Tip #1: John Wujek
Queer Sacramento will also include little vignettes, or "Q-Tip" bonus episodes in addition to the full 30 minute episodes. They will almost always include queer topics, but may not necessarily be about Sacramento. It may be about the queer scene in another town I'm visiting, or it could be about a specific person I can't actually interview. That's the case today with John Wujek. John was a member of the Sacramento Gay Mens Chorus and he died unexpectedly a couple days ago. This episode will be mostly about him. www.legacy.com/amp/obituaries/sacbee/195095445
