Why Don't I Fit In With The Gays? | Good Children: S3E32

[@jceccaldi]

The fact that Giovanna even asks herself these questions speaks volumes on how much she’s on the correct track as a mother

[@caitlinwitt5759]

the priest conversation i’m losing it 😭😭😭

[@sarahbutterfield4998]

I’m blubbering in the library bc of that first voicemail. A literal angel

[@Stevezcheeze]

I just know there are so many closeted queer kids that feel so seen by you guys. I hope y’all know the impact you truly have. This would have helped me soooo much when i was younger, i just know its doing the same for so many others. You guys are the best, always.

[@jaredleemease]

As a Gen X’r in my midlife journey as a single gay man…I was walking my dog here in Phoenix downtown just the other day and saw a gay couple around my own age holding hands while walking together down the street and I was just exhilarated and so glad to see them. Hearing the story of Giovanna and the supporting nature of her relationship with her gay son was amazing and I am so glad there are people who can be such great parents. Thank you Andrew. Thank you Joe. 🏜🕺🏻🐕🏖🏳‍🌈🏳‍⚧

quite the intro today 1000000/10

[@lexorcist2853]

your friendship with each other is so special. Love you both so much ♥️

[@GoodChildrenPod]

♥️♥️♥️

[@GivzzProductions]

the part where you guys talked about not communicating your love life with your friends because "they wouldn't understand" hit HOME. As a gay who's mostly friends with other (straight) guys I was actually TERRIFIED to talk about anything regarding my life with them for fear of not being understood or laughed at. I'm 25 and I kept that part of my life exclusively to myself up until a year or two ago, and surprisingly my friends were really curious to hear about my life as a gay man and actually intrigued to hear more about it xD. Crazy how a simple conversation with people you trust can completely shatter the preconceptions that live in your head haha. Great ep. love you guys. You're really carrying me through my WFH corporate job these past couple of months :)

[@vertigoroach7383]

Idk what it is but I feel like Joe has come such a long way, and is like happy and light and gentle, and obviously still himself at his core, but like just seems lighter, I love it.

[@GoodChildrenPod]

❤❤❤

[@mfotino]

the first voicemail😭😭😭😭 what an incredible mom !!!!

[@mckennabowerss]

I’m so excited for this new generation of people who are gay or different than what’s been the “norm”. I can already see the confidence that kids who are getting the support they need. And I hope this new found acceptance in the world will prevent impressionable children and people from experiencing trauma and shame for being who they are ❤

[@dulcehogarpodcast]

Andrew's guilty puppy side eye look to the camera after the jockstrap question is what makes me live for video podcasts bc the comedic timing has me tickled

[@lizstuartt]

ok so im sobbing at the first voicemail

[@kayleysmith2941]

"little spoon verse top" is going in my tinder bio. we'll see how the philly lesbians respond

[@nikkistiletto96]

im so glad you guys started singing what hurts the most

[@donaldauguston9740]

As an older queer, there are three things I would tell Giovanna. (1.) Use this part of his life to fill his mind with as much knowledge (even the boring junk) as he can while he's still in school. Everything improves after high school. (2.) Get him into a Teenage Toastmaster's Club. This will give him serious self-confidence that will last his entire life!!!! (3.) Instill in him the concept that any unkindness from other people speaks VOLUMES about THEM and NOTHING about him. Unkindness will still be tough, but KNOWING he is normal and decent will see him through. I'm still bleeding over some things said and done to me 45 years ago. I don't want him to have to deal with other people's "stuff". Good luck to you both. DA

[@immabigkidnow1]

The way this podcast literally keeps my blood pumping is crazy

[@Jarnkt]

Okay but, the straight guys with painted nails is stolen valor at the end of the dayyy. I had saurr much residual paranoia from being in the closet and painting my nails helped me cope by having something clockable on me. It took so much pressure off my mind for some reason.

[@smithmen]

decade older follower here. the topic on having all 'girlfriends' vs 'gayfriends' .. it could be interesting to hear more on this from different generations and how they differ in the makeup of their primary group of friends. my bestie crew is all cis-gendered females, and it really hits when you speak about finding a group of gay friends -- who get you in a way your opposite gender mostly straight friends just won't ever be able to relate to. love my crew, but i frequently think of how lonely I (sometimes?) feel, in terms of "gay" social circles and life experiences.

[@gabbyashworth354]

seeing parents who love their children so unconditionally makes me emotional :,) . But you both have cultivated an audience of people who are like the Giovanna’s of the world. GC pod is such a light

[@Holyfanz]

Giovanna why did you have to make me cry !!!!!

[@gabenacion6407]

Andrew, as someone who knew you when you were still figuring things out, love you and so proud to witness from afar how far you’ve come and what you guys have created with this pod. Witty, beautifully vulnerable, and genuinely funny, even for someone who’s not even the target demographic like me lmao. Also, I can see u as the next linnane for sureee and also should we have given u that what hurts the most solo? I feel like yes

[@idab6864]

Myself 2 years ago was like night or day compared to who I am now. I'm 27, the growth that happens in your mid to late 20s is unprecedented

[@ryanwallace8539]

why did we decide to make s3e32 this emotional. love love love

[@leviweaver2251]

The glance at the camera after Andrew said he had a DONK👀😅

[@hailiebaker6923]

I love hearing y’all’s experiences coming out. I stared listening to the pod only recently but I’m obsessed. You guys have the best dynamic and I wish we were friends 😂

[@cullenshaver106]

Woof boys was not ready for this level of introspection today

[@isabelroemer]

omg Andrew as a priest would be like Maria in the sound of music x1000000

[@prorapids]

Why did I cry at then end when Andrew and Joe were complementing each other on how the inspire each other

[@Hannah.carruthers]

I’m telling yall now I’m CALLING it this is gonna blow UP it’s already blown up from when I started watching but this podcast is gonna be BIG (get Brittany broski on here I gotta see it 😩)

[@FrancescoScalarini]

beautiful episode guys! It's so crazy how you can relate to someone else's experiences so much

[@ximenasoto4240]

I loved listening to your guys’ experiences and perspectives in this episode. Opened a whole new window for me. Thank you 🫶🏼

[@kenken6550]

There are NO gay bars left on Long Island. It's so sad. Just Nubar. I used to go to bunkhouse, eagle (in Bayshore), Hunters (I think that's what it was...) and a few others that opened and closed. But, nothing is left. So, that's why there's no community. Fire Island is a city vacation spot and everything else is trumplandia. The DL guys on the island were fun though. I did really gay stuff with them on the patio at bunkhouse. And in the Airport Diner. And the one in Sayville on montauk hwy that eventually turned into a sushi place. And the Snapper Inn. And the jewler at Busy Bee. Omg. I'm really slutty and really old.

43:00 It's so accurate, my partner is 6'2, and I'm 5'6, he's the biggest baby ever and needs to be little spoon.

[@paedreau1]

But a lot of the folks having kids or buying houses are doing what they think they're "supposed" to be doing. It doesn't mean they're right or it's really what they want.

This reminds me of a tweet I saw “i think my favorite people are people who have either burned their whole world down or have had their whole world burned down against their will. people who have had to reinvent themselves completely from scratch, who have been forced to intentionally write their own story.” By @emilykmay

[@UXDlozi]

Andrew, if I know anything about priests is that you will fit right in!

As a gay man who's struggled with his weight his entire adult life, social anxiety and self esteem issues - I can completely relate to feeling like I don't belong into the gay community. TO ME, the gay community never felt inclusive - especially if you don't meet beauty standards, god forbid to be growing older and not have the perfect body.

[@danmedici]

Sometimes I feel like you both are characters on the show Publizity

23:23 I love this talking point, but on the flipside, I would say, There are gays out there that will shame you for not being more feminine. And if you don’t like drag race, you’re homophobic.” I’m a masculine, presenting gay. I switch up but I feel like I get more 💅🏾 to make them feel comfortable. Lol

[@jessh8972]

No idea who you all are, this came across my feed and I was sucked in so you have a new subscriber :) My two cents: I can't relate to my gay friends or my straight friends. Peak aroace experience! Romantic feels? Can't relate. Sex? Can't relate! Friends getting married? No thanks. Friends having kids/adopting? Does not compute. The closer I get to my 40s the more obnoxious society becomes about it all but the less I take it to heart. Feels like when I hit my mid 30s I got more weird and a lot more accepting of myself.
