In this episode cohosts do a deep dive discussing parts of the extremely insightful book, “The Velvet Rage” by Alan Downs. Julian and Bryan explore how their sexuality and race impacted their life, authenticity, and leading them to compensate and seek out validation as gay men. The Velvet Rage lays a groundwork and a pathway for how individuals can move from being in the closet to living an authentic life and finding happiness. But first, they'll discuss good news stories from the LGBTQ+ community that made their week a little brighter! Finally, Julian and Bryan round out the episode by discussing events coming up on their GayDar that they're looking forward to. Enjoy episode 2 of Pride & Progress!
