No Fats, No Fems

This week on Relationsh!t, Marko and Steve dive into one of the most uncomfortable—and important—conversations happening in LGBTQ+ spaces today: the prejudice, judgment, and exclusion that can exist within our own community. Inspired by the release of No Fats, No Fems by Max Hovey (@max_hovey), the guys sit with Max to unpack the meaning behind one of the most infamous phrases in gay dating culture and explore the larger questions it raises about attraction, body image, masculinity, race, validation, and belonging.

Whether you've experienced judgment, felt excluded, questioned your own assumptions, or simply want to better understand the complexities of queer community and dating culture, this episode offers a thoughtful and honest discussion about empathy, acceptance, and the ways we show up for one another.

To wrap things up, Max joins the guys to tackle the week's Listener Sh!tuation, offering their thoughts and guidance on a real life dilemma from the audience.
