Gays&Girls (G&G for safety purposes) is an interview-style podcast dedicated to uplifting stories of our guests regarding their sexuality, gender, identity, and so on. This show was developed after the host felt that mainstream media lacks in the representation of real-world LGBTQ+ experiences. I hope from listening to a few episodes of G&G you are able to learn, resonate, and no longer feel alone in your queer experience or experiences.

    Did you know that the green stripe on the pride flag represents nature. This stripe emphasizes that being queer is in nature's design, and that pride must support the environment. Welcome to the Earth Day special! This episode I am joined by Matthew Scott, the director of storytelling at Project Drawdown. How does being queer and the climate affect one another? Is there a link between sexuality and the affects of climate change? Yes there is. The intersectionality of of climate and the queer community is intrinsically connected in many ways. Matthew guides us through his work at drawdown and shares his advice on how individuals can use their own stories to make a lasting impact in the climate movement. Drawdown's Neighborhood: https://drawdown.org/programs/drawdown-stories/neighborhood

    How important are love languages in a relationship? To me, it's the difference between a 2-month fling and a year-long healthy relationship.

Does your childhood affect the way you accept love as an adult? Absolutely. This episode is raw and a slap in the face if you've never thought to consider your partner's love language... Hope you enjoy and happy valentines day!

    From an early age, we are bombarded with sexualized commercials, movies, and shown unattainable features constantly. These images and portrayals of people can lead to toxic beauty standards. These standards stick with us throughout our adulthood and are exacerbated in the gay community. In this episode, I talk about my experiences with the toxic gay beauty standard and how we can be the future of setting the "new" standard.  This episode is just the beginning of the conversation and I hope you stick along for the ride.

    My interview with Leo, covered topics regarding gender, gender dysphoria, and Leo's future plans. This interview does not fall short in any category and actually had me thinking to myself about my own relationship with gender. These types of interviews are personally my favorite because I was able to sit back and learn from Leo's experiences. Being able to learn from my guests is extremely important to me because I only want to grow as a human which will result in more in-depth conversations for this show later on. I hope you enjoy this episode and I look forward to creating more content for you guys!
