An Investigative Podcast
My Gay Agenda is a bi-weekly podcast where we interview members of the LGBTQIA community and plan our world domination. CJ Higgins and Jenn Adams are your co-conspirators in plotting whatever it is cisgender heterosexual people think gay people are doing.
CJ set their year on fire and Jay worked to solve mental health forever, so now we're back after six months to talk about what the heck happened back there. Jay quizzes CJ on the last five years (not the musical, the amount of time since we started this podcast).
Happy National Coming Out Day, five-year anniversary of this show, and thank you all for your patience!

YOU TOTALLY GOT PRANKED because we're interrupting our accidental hiatus to talk about things that make us happy. From turtlenecks and thrift stores to diagnosis and polyamory!

Jeff (he/him) returns to our show after everything he's done to ensure that it would turn into a TTRPG podcast.

It's our 100th episode AND four-year anniversary of the show! To celebrate, we heard from some past guests about how their Gay Agendas have been going and what advice they would give someone who's afraid to embrace their queer identity. Jay challenges CJ to a Game of Games.
Thank you all for making My Gay Agenda what it is today, we love you <3
