We have removed personal and sensitive details while maintaining each host’s thoughts and the sprit of the conversation. As Brandon, Darius, Jeff, and Sean share their views on this controversial subject, you’ll hear each of their stances and their reasoning. What is okay for you may not be okay for someone else. This is a discussion about setting boundaries and navigating the ever shrinking gay dating pool.
