Summary

In this solo episode of This Is Everything, Zach gets more personal than ever — tracing his journey from a closeted kid in Miami sneaking looks at the JCPenney catalog, to club kid on South Beach in the '90s, to finally coming out at work in his 40s. A funny, honest, and deeply human look at all the phases gay men go through to find themselves.
