Does gay love always need to be shown as a weird power play in the media? Well, when major TV shows like The White Lotus portray a major gay romance as... keeping it in the family... these are the questions we're left asking! On this week's episode of A Gay And A NonGay, James & Dan talk about the scene that has been on everyone's lips and reflect on their feelings. Later in the episode, we hear about Dan's story of his late mother's breast cancer treatment, and the medical malpractice she faced. Highlighting a severe lack of awareness about the scandal, James & Dan talk about the story and the role that attention can play in changing policy.

Have you seen the signs around your town? “Love is love” the signs read, alongside a number of other pithy one-liners designed to stir your emotions for whatever cause de jour to which Progressives have attached themselves. These signs include such misguided maxims as “women's rights are human rights,” which is little more than progressive slang for “leave me alone while I murder my baby,” and “Black Lives Matter,” which sounds noble on the surface, but really means “if you do not support the organization BLM and all it stands for, you are a hopeless racist and no better than Hitler or the Klan.” When it comes to the subject of love, Christians need biblical direction for navigating a world that exchanged the truth about love for a self-serving lie. Our world - and by "world" I mean the systems, institutions, and principalities set in opposition to God and His Word - tells us love is predicated on what you feel in your heart, and you must follow your heart. The Bible tells us our hearts are sick and untrustworthy, and that love is predicated on obedience and service.

Attraction is a fickle matter. Call it a vibe or energy or aura, it is indeed a powerful unseen force that influences our relationships. In the metaphysical sense, energetic attraction stems from the belief that everything in the universe is made up of energy, including human beings, and that this energy can interact and create connections between people. In this episode, we're going deeper into the concept of Energetic Attraction, by answering these questions: What traits make someone attractive? How much control do you have over who you're attracted to? Can you become more energetically attractive? Take the Attachment Style Quiz!

Filmmaker David Millbern's award winning and Emmy-nominated documentary TV Special called 100 Years of Men in Love: The Accidental Collection tells 100 love stories that were almost lost forever to history. Based on a collection of vintage photos found at antique stores and flea markets, dating from 1850 into the 1950s and curated by Hugh Nini and Neal Treadwell in their book, Loving: A Photographic History of Men in Love, this moving and masterful documentary shines a light on the joy, romance and tenderness shared between male couples, in a time when their love was forbidden. David joins us to talk about how the collection, and the film, came together, the possible origins of the photos and stories of their subjects, what they tell us about the century and the particular generations they represent, how audiences have been receiving the film and what he most hopes the viewer will take away from watching it. Plus David shares insight into his additional LGBTQ-themed work at Here TV.We open as always with recommendations, Weezy's is Shrinking on Apple TV+ and Fritz's is the PBS Frontline documentary Country Boys now streaming on Prime.Path Points of Interest:David Millbern100 Years of Men in Love on Roku100 Years of Men in Love on Here TV through Prime100 Years of Men in Love TrailerLoving: A Photographic History of Men in Love 1850s-1950s by Hugh Nini & Neal TreadwellHere TVShrinking - Apple TVCountry Boys - Amazon Prime

My guest is Harker Jones (no relation), who provides a witty self-bio, but of whom I can say more newscastery, so to speak, that he's an artist who works and has worked in many different media for a few decades now. He published the Amazon #1-bestselling gay love story called Until September. Harker has also written many screenplays, and directed and produced several short thrillers that have played at film festivals and won awards. Somewhere in there he also was managing editor or Out magazine for 7 years. In my conversation, he was modest and self-effacing about his many achievements. And as for his self-bio, I liked this best: “He's a member of both the Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle and Mensa, loves cats and carbs and would like to be a one-hit wonder but would settle for being killed in a slasher movie.”

Julian is in the studio to talk about his trip to Egypt, the unfortunate truth about Nepo-Babies (that they exist), and give his hot takes on the latest news stories in a new segment we're calling "The World According to Jules." It's gonna be a great year, people! Intro by BridgerPrix
