Raoni Washburn is a writer, LGBTQ+ community activist, & podcast host from San Francisco, California. Raoni was born and raised in Sacramento, California, by strict conservative, Republican, closed-minded Christian parents and forced to grow up in the church. After years of brainwashing, it wasn't until Raoni finally came out of the closet in his late twenties and, five or so years later, moved to San Francisco in 2015 that he discovered who he truly was supposed to be as he maneuvered through the gayest city in the world. Because of his overbearing and forced Bible-thumping upbringing and the rejection that he faced from his own family after coming out as gay, combined with his excessive exposure to the Castro District of San Francisco in all its gay glory, Raoni felt compelled to share with the rest of the world the one thing they ignored about his life; what it's like to live as a gay man in a gay city. Otherwise known as what it's like "when life has you fucked in the head while being fucked from behind."
