Christmas is a holiday that is celebrated by many people around the world. It is typically marked by the exchange of gifts, the decoration of homes and public spaces with lights and festive decorations, and the gathering of friends and family to celebrate. Different cultures and societies have their own unique Christmas traditions and customs, and individuals may also have their own personal memories and traditions associated with the holiday.

GBFs are all the rage these days, but what does that mean? Not so long ago, it was common to hear guys and girls go on about Girls’ Best Friends or Ladies’ Best Buddies when referring to their friends of the opposite sex, especially if they were single (this was back when having a boyfriend or girlfriend meant that both parties were in relationships). However, today’s culture looks at this term differently. A GBF is someone you can be around without feeling the need to have sex with them or date them.

Halloween is the most fun holiday of the year, and it’s extra special to us LGBT folks because we can dress up in drag or our favorite superhero costume without fear of criticism from straight people! With so much to love about Halloween, it’s no wonder that this night of the year has inspired so many movies over the years! But which ones are the best? What candy should you be snacking on this All Hallows Eve? And what about those gay costumes? In this LGBT Halloween special, I’ll give you all the information you need for your spooky celebration this year!

Hey everyone Cody and Matt are back with all new episodes through the rest of 2022. They'll have new episodes each Wednesday on all podcast networks and on YouTube. 

Sexuality, in all its glory, can be complicated and confusing – but it doesn’t have to be! A healthy sex life – whether you’re gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender or pansexual – is important to your overall health and well-being.

If you’re gay and currently in a relationship, you may be aware of all the subtle ways that your sexuality affects your day-to-day life. For example, you may know how to go about coming out to friends and family, or how to find partners both online and offline. But it’s likely that there are still plenty of misconceptions floating around about sex in the gay community, and it can be easy to get swept up in these myths without ever realizing it. If you want to be better informed about gay sex, stop believing these common misconceptions right now!

According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, it’s estimated that 50 million people in the United States suffer from anxiety disorders on an annual basis. These conditions are characterized by extreme feelings of dread, nervousness, and even panic that can significantly interfere with your day-to-day life; however, you don’t have to let these feelings run your life. In this episode Cody and Matt talk about Cody's anxiety and how he deals with it and what helps him through periods of high anxiety.

In this LIVE episode Cody and Matt talk about what they have been doing on the hiatus away from the show. Cody talks his anxiety at length and what he has been able to do with his doctors and therapist to help minimize those feelings.

Maybe you feel like it’s unproductive to take time out of your day to focus on yourself, especially when you have so much work to do and so many demands on your time. But this couldn’t be further from the truth! Taking time to focus on yourself not only makes you happier, but it also makes you more productive—and ultimately, it makes you more successful in every aspect of your life.

Asexuality, sometimes called ace by those who identify as such, refers to those who do not experience sexual attraction or a desire to engage in sexual activity with other people, regardless of their biological sex, gender identity, or romantic orientation. In the LGBTQ community, those who identify as ace may feel as though they don’t fit in because their sexuality differs from what the public generally thinks of when they think of members of the LGBTQ community.

While a lot of people worry that they’re broken if they don’t experience sexual attraction, everyone is different. You can be asexual and have any romantic orientation you want. If you do date, you might tell your partner about your asexuality before you start dating to make sure they understand what that means. They may or may not be okay with it. Some partners won’t date aces because their definition of a relationship includes sex, but others don’t care whether their partner is asexual as long as they have an open relationship where both people respect each other's boundaries.

Have you ever said about someone after first hearing him speak, he sounds gay?

“Gay Voice” isn’t necessarily a real thing - It’s a stereotype and there are men, to a greater or lesser extent, who embody that stereotype. There are straight men who may sound stereotypically gay and there are gay men who may sound what we would say is straight.

Research has found that there is no significant differences in fundamental frequency, mean intensity, or vowel space between straight and gay men.  Linguistics professors Henry Rogers and Ron Smyth has also identified phonetic characteristics that seem to make a man’s voice sound gay. That research has shown that some gay men could adopt patterns from female family or friends they may be around, picking up those characteristics unconsciously.

For many in the LGBTQ+ community in the past and even today the need to change your voice is for the sake of safety and survival.

You shouldn’t have to change your voice, the way you dress, or who you are. Be proud of it.
