This week on The Big Gay Radio Show, hosts Chris Gorman, Esmé Russell, and Vyn Suazion welcomed Callen Jones, president of My Trans Network, for an in-depth conversation on advocacy, inclusion, and the evolving landscape of LGBTQIA+ rights in Tampa Bay and beyond.

Jones discussed the work My Trans Network is doing to uplift and empower transgender and gender-diverse individuals across the region, from expanding access to healthcare and legal resources to building stronger partnerships between community organizations. The conversation highlighted how the nonprofit continues to foster visibility and unity, providing essential support for Tampa Bay’s trans and gender-expansive residents.

The hosts and Jones also covered major LGBTQIA+ headlines shaping the week, including a Canadian judge’s decision to pause the deportation of a non-binary U.S. citizen, the No-Kings protest, and a case in which a cisgender boy is being required to play on a girls’ basketball. The discussion also took aim at recent comments from Joe Rogan and Candace Owens, who offered new perspectives on the current U.S. immigration policies.

On The Big Gay After Show, the conversation continued with lighter but no less compelling topics, including Trump’s Ballroom, actor Noah Schnapp’s uncomfortable experience with journalists prying into his sexuality, and Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s comments suggesting that marriage equality remains constitutionally protected.
