What Do The Gays Think?
Voices in the LGBTQ+ community are often silenced, and it's time our thoughts and opinions were heard! Back in 2020, Matt & Pat started What Do The Gays Think? as an opinion podcast to share our (gay) thoughts on recent topics in pop culture, politics, and everything and anything gay. This podcast has evolved over time and we are now reviewing community opinions (by sending out surveys!), providing insightful queer media reviews, and getting into deep and thought-provoking discussions. Oh, and Jackie joined us as a 3rd co-host as well (the best part!!) Are you ready to dive into the depths and wonders of the LGBTQ+ community? Let's do it! What do the gays REALLY think??

It's been a while again! Life has kept us busy, but we wanted to get an episode out to y'all! In this episode, Jackie disappears so Matt and Pat revert to their old duo-style and chat about everything that's been happening recently (but mostly Netflix's Avatar the Last Airbender Live Action adaptation). We also delve into the Quiet on Set documentary, recent 2024 election updates, and (of course) gay humpback whales!

When we says things like "LGBTQ topics should be taught in schools", it's often misconstrued. But gay kids exist, and we know because we WERE those kids. In the second episode of our yearly Pride series, Matt and Pat talk about their experiences as gay children, and what it was like growing up gay when the world around them was telling them not to be.
