Today’s Episode is sponsored by: Brianna’s Mobile Workshop! Pittsburgh’s Premier Queer Contractors.
In this episode of Pride Matters, we sit down with Pittsburgh’s own drag superstar Joey Young, a powerhouse performer, singer-songwriter, and freshly crowned Miss Continental Newcomer 2025. Joey talks about their roots in McKeesport, their journey through musical theater and the Pittsburgh drag scene, and how they evolved from “diet drag” into full-blown icon status.
We dive into the world of pageantry, what it takes to win titles like Blue Moon and Miss Continental, and the deep connections formed through chosen family.With shout-outs to legends like Lydia B Kollins, designer Brian David, and venues like the Blue Moon Bar, P Town Bar, and the Baton in Chicago, this is a must-listen for anyone who loves drag, community, and queer excellence.
