Kick-starting Season 2 of "Coffee with Gays," we've revamped our pod and we're here with a fresh look, new artwork, and a mission to break the mold of what a gay podcast can be. Diving into online deception, calling out social media giants and dating apps for spam profiles and catfishing. This season amplifies our authenticity.

We'll probe tech companies' role in user safety, need for transparency in content moderation, and delve into the political landscape, focusing on Jeff Jackson, a Democratic Senator Congressman from North Carolina. Also important topics like Section 230 which governs social media giants hasn't been updated since 1996!

We'll discuss existing laws, tech companies' responsibilities, and end with a chat about dating and relationships in the internet era. Grab your coffee, join us in this unapologetic journey through the gay community. Let's redefine the conversation together.
