Spiritual Reno nailed it! I like the way he put it - being gay is a gift, not a curse.
@neutralmultiverse8589
I love this so much! I feel wrapped in a warm cozy blanket when I listen to you guys!
@enzomthethwa5861
Matt, I agree with you. Having a community of gay men who show their deeper side is such a blessing to have!
@SizweKheswa-r4x

Omg, guys. Please, I know that 200 episodes is a lot...and much congratulations, but please stay around as long as you can. I know you have other parts to your lives, but so much of my week revolves around waiting for your next podcast episode. I feel like after listening to literally EVERY episode that I've come to think of each of you as my friend. I'm a 61 year old gay man who's married to my husband for 9 years and together for 33 years. It's been a journey and not 1 single fight between us. We "playfully pick" at each other but we deeply love each other. I came to the relationship with serious baggage from a 6 year relationship before my husband, emotional, physical, sexual and financial. When I met my husband I didn't know that it could be this good. He came along at a time in my life when my life needed to be saved. And he did. I'm in therapy now, for 3 1/2 years with a therapist but now have graduated up to a psychologist who I feel can help me understand myself a bit better and why I still, after living a charmed life, feel sad and guilty all the time. Why i still dwell on the past. I enjoy therapy. My goal is to get off my SSRIs as they make me sweat like a whore in church. Each of you guys give me hope, happiness, curiosity, appreciation and I feel so much love for you all. Please keep going. I look forward to each episode. Whew! Thanks for your time.

Reno really shone in this episode 😊 love what he had to say about every gay man having to go through and RECONCILE their own experience. Also, his image of gay men as beacons of love on earth lol I’ve thought of that in a very similar way. Spot-on 🤌 congrats on 200 episodes!
@ascott2168

@MrRjaybee

@FlamencoFox
Gentlemen. I'm a first time listener. As someone who deals with a lot of anxiety and am struggling with doing inner work this was lovely. I've subscribed. Thank you🎉
@5928N
Good discussion. Thank you guys for doing these series.
@dbisamazing84
Thank you guys! Recently, out of nowhere, I was just sitting at home and it finally hit me, that I was "beautiful". And what makes me "beautiful" is not what people see on the outside. And that's the beauty that counts MOST!!! To finally realize that, is a relief to my heart and my spirit.
@ValStephens
Something that has been showing up for me in a significant way recently is other queers acknowledging, validating, and commending me for my response to and survival of my circumstances. Grew up in midwest USA, conservative Christian family, community, worldview, and very much internalized all of it. Having my queer peers acknowledge that making it through that was indeed a feat of survival has helped me contextualize both the pain of those memories and the residual patterns that I am currently healing from. And on top of that, individuals have told me how much they admire the way that I have flourished and matured in spite of those challenges, and that really helps me to pat myself on the back in a way that my ingrained Christian shame has never allowed me to. It's definitely still work that I'm doing, and I feel like I could go on for pages, but yeah that's what's top of mind for me as I listened to this. Thanks for this podcast, it has been so transformational for me since I was introduced to it a week ago (lol). And I'm just relishing digging through the back log of episodes, so thank you guys so so much.
@drick2480
The name of this podcast is wild but i love your work. I am bi but definitely had to go through a similar journey of self-acceptance even when i really had no community to lean on. Also i was wondering, have you guys ever talked about bottom shaming and stigma against fems in the gay community?
@gw6482
Omg I totally relate with what Reno said about hating oneself and wanting to change oneself so strongly. However now, like him and Michael, I’m living my best gay life, unapologetically and fabulously. Of course I agree with all the important aspects, the history and the rights, but also the sex, the clubs… Amazing episode, what a way to celebrate the 200th episode, here’s for 200 more 🥂
@amlp04
Very good. You went deeper. For a better world.
@barendkamperman1471
Whoa! Great insights! Thanks. I love using word play and absurd "guerilla attack" humour. Others then join in, like we're playing a game of catch. We are mutli-level beings. Using that adaptively in experience makes life work. "Love and let live" frees me for the best pursuits. I know who I am now and I'm not backing down.
