Gavon inspired Noel to start this podcast — but what happens when the friend who pushed you to speak finally joins the conversation? In the season finale, Noel and Gavon reflect on the times friendship stepped up when family fell short. As two gay men, they share how they’ve navigated complicated relationships with their families, and the unexpected ways friends have offered love, safety, and understanding. They also talk about softening expectations of the families we’re born into, and how chosen family can sometimes meet us where blood cannot.
