On this week's show, Alex chats with gay basketball player Jallen Messersmith, who's carved out a second life in New York City and Fire Island after playing basketball at Benedictine College, a small Christian school in Kansas. Alex and Jallen talk about his time as an out player at a religious institution and his gay awakening on Fire Island.
