Relationsh!t Podcast
Representation Sh!t
Show Notes

This week, Mauricio (@mbcmia) and Stephen (@ssc831), the husbands and fathers at @mydosdads are our #QueerRelationshipGoals. Not only are they unapologetically human and wonderfully relatable, but they are also fathers to a beautiful little girl. You can check out the book of their adoption journey here.  We absolutely love them and think you will too! Then, Marko and Tony get together to talk about the current state of queer representation in entertainment, especially on TV and in sports. The guys discuss the lack of representation during their youth and the budding presence of queer characters on television as they entered their adolescence. Finally, Marko and Tony are joined at the Critable by the first openly gay professional hockey player, Brock McGillis (@brockmcgillis33) to learn about his journey from denial to acceptance to public figure. We enjoyed the conversation so don't miss this episode!
