What Do The Gays Think? Jackie, Matt, & Pat
-
- Society & Culture
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??
