In this powerful and heartfelt introductory episode, hosts Scott Pralinsky and Colin Brownlee launch Happy Endings at Shameless Acres (HEASA) — a visionary community for gay men 55 and older seeking connection, purpose, and a bit of fun. Colin shares the origin story of HEASA, born from a beachside epiphany over 20 years ago, and explores how this dream has grown into a nonprofit movement for vibrant aging. From virtual happy hours and Zoom salons to future real-world meetups, this episode paints a vivid picture of what’s possible when older gay men come together to create their own shameless, supportive space. Whether you’re lonely, thriving, or simply curious — you belong here.
