Today in Gay

We made it to Friday! What a week we’ve had here at Today in Gay – we went to the Queerties, we published our Dylan Mulvaney Interview, and we learned that if you are a spider named Paco that lives on an outdoor porch, Vico will take care of you! BLESS! Today we talk about nuance in the political field and not putting politicians on a pedestal. Plus, we omniously celebrate the world’s richest man...

We are huge advocates of pleasure and joy as protest and Dylan Mulvaney is not only the embodiment of queer joy – she’s creating more outlets to express it through conversation, performance and art. Mulvaney talks about pushing back against transphobia by making art and creating joy as the antidote to a system of hate that wants our community to be small, individually and collectively. Vico and Na...

Happy Hump Day to all who celebrate! We’re here to shake up the middle of your week because anything goes on Wildcard Wednesday! In international news, Japanese high courts are ruling that the refusal of legal recognition of same-sex marriage is unconstitutional – hell to the yes! Meanwhile here in Loserville, the US Supreme Court is taking up a challenge to Colorado’s ban on conversion therapy* f...

Happy Tuesday, Gays! We’re holding on to our coping mechanisms right there with you by finding ways to push back, re-engage and invest in our community. MSNBC is doing their part by hiring two, out, gay black men as anchors in a new version of “The Weekend” - a first for a major network. There’s more devastating news out there today, including Christian investment firms’ own agenda against compani...

It’s a Monday Mood. We’re welcoming in more daylight and saying “girl, BYE” to Gavin Nuisance — what a LOSER. While Gavin turns his back on the Trans community, we hope new data from the Trevor Project will get you fired up enough to call your reps on behalf of LGBTQIA+ youth! We’re taking notes from SF Pride’s theme of Queer Joy as Resistance and bipartisan pushback on anti-trans laws in Montana....

It’s Friday and we hope y’all get to have a restorative weekend considering the week we’ve had. We know it seems our realities are so disconnected from our humanity. It’s upsetting, absolutely. But while we break down Trump’s hate speech delivered to Congress in today’s episode, we also focus on the powerful rally that happened in Georgia and some legislative wins in the state — and Nay and Vico m...

Good morning! We have a super special conversation today between Nay and Jax, who is filling in for Vico while they travel! But don’t worry, Nay is picking Vico up at the airport! This Thursday, we’re discussing the bill that aimed to ban trans athletes from participating in women’s sports — which failed to pass and proved itself a waste of time, like we all knew it would be. Speaking of a waste o...

Top o’ the mornin’ to ya, TiG cutie patooties! We’re here to say, “Invite the gays everywhere,” because we sure as hell know how to turn out a party! In this episode, we cover unprecedented turnout of LGBTQ+ groups at last Sunday’s St. Patrick’s Day parade in Staten Island, public protests as Iowa becomes the first state in the nation to remove gender identity protections from their Civil Rights C...

This Tuesday, we’re celebrating the artistic value of Louisiana drag shows — as sexy as they are; Senegalese migrants stepping up to do the right thing and fight back against homophobia in Spain; and Washington State’s halt to Trumps’ order to defund trans-youth healthcare. While there is a lot of good to focus on, it’s still ok to shed a tear once in a while. We’re with you through the ups and do...

It’s a new month and we’re starting off the first Monday of March with some updates… y’know, to keep y’all in the loop. Canandaigua’s officials are working with community members to make the city safer for everyone in the wake of Sam Nodquist’s death; Trump’s military ban apparently can’t count because it’s (*Laverne Cox voice*) “focused on the wrong 1%.” LOVE to see two hated groups link up on th...

With the assault of executive orders, news headlines and shock culture, it can be hard to discern where to focus our attention and who to trust when it comes to accurate information. The media and administration’s deliberate indoctrination is meant to keep our community ignorant and unable to advocate for ourselves; to fight back against a world built to be hostile towards us. To combat this, Nay...

The woke left is at it again, organizing… polycule D&D campaigns? While bigots continue to spend their energy on staying loud and wrong! Today, we’re celebrating more U.S. queers out and about, highlighting the allies in our government not backing down against Trump’s anti-trans sports agenda, and standing strong with LGBTQ+ folks in Texas ‘cause y’all aren’t alone! On this episode, Nay got her Op...

IWe had so many voicemails from our first Love on the Line , you know we had to double it!! Nay and Vico listen and react to your love notes and spread the love!

We don’t know what’s going on with the stars y’all but mercury is in microbraids over here. Whether it’s disappointment, grief, or just general unrest, we’re making it through together. There are everyday people who never stop to make this world a more equitable place and we hope that reminder helps you just a little bit today. On today’s episode, Vico’s screaming faggacini with their carabiner, N...

Life is doing what life does, and we needed to take a breath today. Just like Vico always encourages us do. As we regroup, we are unlocking this previously paywalled interview. We have an exciting week planned for you all! More to come! TiG Team ♥︎ Earlier this month, Nay sat down with writer, producer, and filmmaker Michael Kennedy for an exclusive interview. Nay and Michael actually go way back...

Calling all raving lesbians, screaming dykes & perverts — we’re causing a kerfuffle this Friday! Today, we’re honoring an English lesbian legend, hating on the losers who ousted Louisiana’s first out LGBTQ+ person elected to state government, and cheering on the protestors rallying next week in Cartagena. Today is also our last day with Chanel (for now!!) and Nay’s trading places to teach Chanel a...

Today, Nay’s doing a white woman check, Vico’s one of the apostles, and Chanel’s noticing a lil trend with rock climbers… 🩳👦🤴 This episode’s got piping hot queer history, disappointing news from the EEOC, and a win against that anti-gay bakery you might’ve heard about years ago (the courts are SLOW y’all). So flip on that hotel TV and pet an elderly dog today! ♥︎ TiG Team This is a public episo...

On today’s episode, we cover a library in Colorado that’s preserving Black LGBTQ history, a lesbian insurance agent *swoon* in Hong Kong building a community for Queer elders, and the tragic death of a Queer religious leader (TW: gun violence). It’s heavy out there, y’all, but we need to savor the wholesome moments too. And our hosts are steering CLEAR of the Kia asylum. Nay’s got the Disney+ Yelp...

It’s a beautiful TuesGAY here on Beyonce’s internet! Despite the ever-growing List of Losers, we’re fighting back bigots on every level! We’ll take our victories of sanctuary city resolutions, continuing to exercise our First Amendment rights, and keeping the ACLU booked & busy. Today, Vico’s dusting off their Magic cards, Nay’s getting the bricks ready, and Chanel might be coming to a Disney+ ava...

It’s Monday! We have a new gayly correspondent for the week… Chanel Stewart! And she’s putting a call out to twinks for the role of Jacob Elordi’s arm candy. Today, Vico’s at the farm, Nay’s hosting the big gay Today in Gay wedding, and we learn about Y'all-Mart! ♥︎ TiG Team This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit to...

You don’t have to listen or look hard to feel love emanating from Niecy Nash-Betts and Jessica ‘JB’ Betts. Our team frequently blushed, steamed up, and teared up while glimpsing into the deep and electric romance between The Betts. They are truly one of those couples who make you question if you should leave the room because their intensity for one another is so palpable. We are so grateful to The...

Love is in the air! ♥︎ We’re excited for Valentine’s Day tomorrow… and our Good Gay News is the announcement of our Love on the Line special guests!

If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers...

Happy WednesGAY! We hope you’re ready for some giggles because Vico’s sillygooseness is on Shakespearian levels and Nay has said way too much. We’re looking ahead to primary elections, dragging Trump’s raggedy anti-drag agenda, and lifting you up if “queer drain” has got you down. Despite the BS, we’re keeping the vibes up by sharing #goodgaynews from our community: YOU! And as always, don’t forge...

Nay reminds us that our queer feelings are NATURAL, we get down with another lawsuit in defense of trans rights, and Vico has… Capacity 👀😏 Idk maybe shoot your shot? ♥︎ TiG Team This is a public episode.

We’ve got a new non-binary in a vest on the pod today!! Jax Ko, our co-producer and creative director, is filling in this Monday for Vico – but don’t worry, you’ll still get to hear a bit from Vico today and they’ve got the chisme. And Nay’s still here, still being a baddie… even if she got a lil millennial on us today. On this episode, we’re covering the con job the Trump Administration is trying...
