The Gay Bit — Cliques, Categories & The Truth About the LGBTQ+ Community

In this week's Gay Bit, Zach gets real about something we all see, experience, and — if we're honest — participate in: the silent rules about who belongs where inside the LGBTQ+ community.

From twinks and bears to Grindr exclusion lists to fem-on-fem policing to the obsession with masculinity, Zach holds the mirror up to the community he loves — himself very much included — and asks: are we building the inclusive community we say we want, or are we recreating the same hierarchies we're trying to escape?

Plus: the time Zach accidentally landed in Provincetown during Bear Week, his habit of borrowing friends' phones to "call his mom," and why the bears might just be the most welcoming group of all.

The Gay Bit drops every Friday on Everything & Anything… and a Bit Gay.
