About Host Junior Key

Junior is a fresh voice in the expansive world of political podcasting. He spent his formative years in the nurturing care of four parents, splitting his upbringing between Greensboro, NC, and Orlando, FL. Growing up in a conservative Christian environment, he was always motivated to think independently and conduct personal research on a variety of subjects, from political and social issues to matters of faith. 

What sets Junior apart is his early embrace of his identity as an openly gay teenager during the early 1990s—a time when many debates were still raging. “My childhood was filled with extensive research about everything from my spiritual salvation to my political beliefs. My views are grounded in my core values and morals,” he explains.

When he was finally eligible to vote, Junior stood firm in two convictions: he was a devoted Christian destined for heaven and a proud Republican. Despite the GOP's struggles with issues like marriage equality back in the '90s, he refused to let a single disagreement overshadow his broader political ideology. He maintained strong beliefs in limited government, states’ rights, lower taxes, pro-growth economic policies, a robust national defense, and the importance of individual identity over the collective. For Junior, being gay is just one facet of who he is, not his defining characteristic. During that period, he was openly gay, aligned with the Republican party, and actively engaged with the LGB community, fighting for equal rights—such as hospital visitation rights for partners, tax advantages for married couples, anti-discrimination protections, and ultimately marriage equality. He felt a sense of pride in the community's achievements, thinking, “We’ve won. Amazing. We’re equal,” and he viewed their victories as progress.

However, Junior's connection to the LGB community dwindled as they began to adopt new identities and agendas, which he found troubling. He was disheartened by the shift towards an extreme focus on the Trans movement and the normalization of concepts he could not reconcile with his beliefs. He became increasingly estranged from a community he felt had strayed from its original mission, now appearing to promote ideologies he vehemently opposed, such as pushing gender theories on children and endorsing surgical interventions for minors.

Today, Junior stands among many who share his belief that sexuality should be extricated from politics; it should hold no relevance in governance. He believes that like-minded gay Republicans affirm the binary nature of gender.

He pursued higher education at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, majoring in Political Science and History. However, he found the liberal indoctrination from professors overwhelming and chose to take a break after three years. That hiatus evolved into several prominent retail management positions in cities like New York, Chicago, and Miami. In Miami, he took a bold step and founded his first venture—an event planning business—which marked the onset of a series of successful entrepreneurial endeavors. In 2019, he sold his business and relocated to Brooksville, FL, where he earned his Commercial Driver’s License at Career Tech in Lakeland, FL. Over the following years, he drove for reputable companies like Western Express and Coldliner Express, eventually establishing his own transport company, Key Transport, which he ran until 2024.

After years of entrepreneurship and life on the road, Junior felt a renewed political passion ignited during his travels as he consumed various political podcasts and news. He attempted to launch a podcast while on the move but found the inconsistent nature of his schedule made it impractical. 

Now, with stability and time on his side, Junior is ready to launch “Everything Politics with Junior Key.” He brings a distinctive perspective to today’s political landscape. The disdain from the socialist left and the LGBTQI+ community confirms to him that he is on the right path. His mission is to seek out the truth, expose the corruption around us, and enlighten those on the left about the manipulative tactics of socialist propaganda. Junior aspires to connect with his audience and clarify the distinction between reality and spin. Ultimately, he hopes to unite people through a shared commitment to truth.
