This week we chat to queer author Britt East about his new book A Gay Man's Guide To Life. We discuss the masks we wear to hide our true selves, how gay men use friendship with other gay men to find confidence, rampant racism in the gay community and the responsibility we have to learn about other members within the LGBT community. We're also joined by Paul Mizzi from The Swapcast Podcast to chat to us about queer films that have flown under our radar over the last few years. And in this week's After Show we throw around our thoughts on All Stars 5 and Canada's Drag Race.Follow Britt East's work: https://www.britteast.com/Films discussed:The Shiny Shrimpshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=feL5tANkH98 (Available on Stan)The Half of Ithttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-yhF7IScUE (Available on Netflix) The Thing About Harryhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLjWY8SI7z8 Giant Little Oneshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxLBTRcDVfU Queen of Lapahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sG7eLhN5UO4 (Available on FactoryTwentyFive.com)State of Pridehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmFA0KnSs6Q (Available on Youtube) Subscribe (for free!), rate and review The Gays Are Revolting on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and Acast.

This week we're reconciling childhood affection for Harry Potter with the widely critiqued views of the trans community by its author J.K. Rowling. We discuss the dangerous ideas resonating with TERFS, trans-antagonism, and the misguided thinking of those relying on an unfounded idea about how trans people use bathrooms.We also interview WA based artist and activist George Foulkes-Taylor about how queer outreach in rural communities fosters a sense of safety for queer people, what it means to have queer friends in remote locations, and the very real consequences of the same-sex marriage plebiscite in remote settings.In this week's After Show we discuss how prostate cancer impacts the lives of men who have sex with men.

When we spoke about people fishing around for our nudes online a few weeks back we were contacted the Federal eSafety Commission, who join us today to share information about recent legal changes, why LGBT+ people are disproportionately affected and what to do if you end up on the wrong side of image-based abuse. We also discuss disappointing queer representation in Disney's universe, and ask: is Disney truly committed to inclusion for LGBT+ people, or merely throwing us breadcrumbs to keep us contained?This week's After Show is tomorrow's live stream for our Patrons!

We're back! Healthy as a horse, fit as a fiddle and the hottest mess of unmet expectations you ever did see. But somebody better get Ally McBeal on Zoom coz this week we're serving legal realness. Firstly, we chat to queer lawyer Nicholas Stewart about finally receiving justice for the 1988 death of Scott Johnson in NSW. He also dissects how minority hate crimes are dealt with and the importance of seeing members of our community in senior AFP positions. Back home, we chew over the ways in which LGBTI+ equality has halted (and in many ways regressed) in the face of a global pandemic, and whether true equality is merely an unachievable far-off pipe dream. Depressing, no? Just another day for The Gays!And in this week's after show we discuss the legacy of iconique queer artist Tom of Finland, in celebration of what would have been his 100th birthday.Subscribe (for free!), rate and review The Gays Are Revolting on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and Acast.
