Show Notes
Kip grew up LDS in American Samoa, where drag queens were celebrated onstage — and sometimes in his own living room. His story is about navigating that unique cultural backdrop, coming out to his Relief Society president mom before military deployment, and discovering who he really was through hookups, relationships, and self-reflection.
Importantly, Kip is bisexual, and his story reflects the complexity of attraction, identity, and relationships across genders.
Highlights from Kip’s story include:
- Drag queens, church leadership, and a Samoan coming-out story.
- The Irish accent beach hookup fantasy.
- Catfishing the catfish — and nearly confronting him in person.
- Four years in a relationship with a man who never left his wife.
- Redefining love, sex, and open relationships on his own terms.
Kip’s journey is equal parts playful, raw, and deeply honest — a reminder that sometimes the most radical act is simply telling the truth.
