    Why Gays Love Starting Over | New Beginnings, But Gay

    Bonus Episode: We’re closing out the year of The JK But Gay Show with a conversation about new beginnings. In this episode, we talk about why queer people are often forced to start over, and why we get so good at it. From coming out again and again, to rebuilding chosen family, to reinventing ourselves after heartbreak, loss, or burnout, starting over is almost a queer skill set. We also explore how Latino culture can make new beginnings complicated. The pressure to stay loyal to old rules, old roles, and old expectations can make change feel selfish or impossible. We talk honestly about what it means to honor where we come from while still allowing ourselves to grow. Finally, we reflect on “new year, new me” culture and what we actually want for 2026. Not perfection. Not reinvention for the sake of it. Just growth, peace, and a life that feels more honest. 🎧 Listen now and tell us: what are you ready to begin again?

    Boundaries, But Gay | Queer Friendships, Family Rules, and Healthy Limits

    Bonus Episode: We’re back with another drop in The JK But Gay Show and this time we’re talking boundaries. Boundaries we grew up with. Boundaries we didn’t. And the boundaries we’re still figuring out. From Latino family rules to messy gay friendships to the tricky art of saying “no” as adults, we share the moments that made us question everything from privacy to people pleasing. We talk about blurred lines in queer friendships, what it means to set limits with chosen family, and how hard it can be to unlearn what we thought was “normal” growing up. If you’ve ever struggled to keep your peace without losing your people, this episode is for you. 🎧 Listen now and tell us: what boundary are you setting for yourself next?

    Stanning, But Gay | Pop Culture, Beyoncé, and The Dark Side of Fandom

    Bonus Episode: JK But Holiday continues with Stanning, But Gay where we talk about pop stars, fandoms, and why gays are so obsessed with them.

We also talk about our first pop star obsessions, what our fandoms say about us, and when stanning goes too far like toxic fanbases and unhinged social media drama. It’s part love letter, part reality check for all of us who have ever defended our fave just a little too hard. 🎧 Listen now and tell us which artist you would risk it all for.
