Welcome to the very first episode of Ghosted, Gagged & Gay — the podcast where we dive into the magic, mess, and meaning of queer love.
In this powerful kickoff, I’m joined by the incredible Skylar McManus — author of the LGBTQ+ graphic novel Essence, co-host of the neurodivergent podcast Mentally Tabbed Out, and a real-life agile coach helping teams (and maybe hearts) thrive.
We dive into:
🌈 What it means to unlearn the myth that queer or neurodivergent people are “too much” to love
📚 How Skylar’s graphic novel reflects his own identity, journey, and inner superheroes
🧠 The surprising ways neurodivergence shows up in how we love and communicate
💬 What 18 years of queer love — that began with a blown-off blind date — taught him about real connection
✨ Why creativity, structure, and softness can all coexist in lasting love
This episode is equal parts heartwarming and healing — a must-listen for anyone who’s ever felt too complicated to be fully loved. Spoiler: you're not.
