Author :- Dave Quantic June 10, 2020, 9:56 a.m.

Join Dave and his guest Tom following our featured interview as they discuss Tom’s new queer hook up app, HANKIES (@hankies96) which was inspired by the famous hankie code used by gay men in the early days of gay liberation.

But first…

This episode’s main event features Aditya who sat for an interview in October of 2019 in New York City.

Raised in Hyderabad, India, Aditya didn’t come out until his second year of college in New Delhi. Luckily his family and friends accepted him, but an awkward experience he had at a bath house in Hong Kong served as a reminder that queer people can often be as racist and socially elitist as straight people. Over the years, Aditya has learned to follow his instincts as he has navigated his journey from India to New York City. It hasn’t been easy, but he eventually found his tribe.
