Meet Jon and Bryan—biological twin cousins (yes, really—our moms are sisters and our dads are brothers) and two proudly out gay men with a shared commitment to visibility, authenticity, and storytelling. Together, we represent a unique blend of perspectives within the LGBTQIA+ community, shaped by lives that are both deeply connected and vastly distinct.

We created Out Loud & Laughing as a platform rooted in honesty, humor, and human connection. Bryan is a married father of two, thriving in family life. Jon is a recently divorced, sober man redefining life with clarity and renewed purpose. As we both turn 40, we're diving into what it truly means to grow up, glow up, and show up—while queer, out loud, and unapologetically ourselves.

Our mission is simple: to share stories that reflect the beautifully diverse realities of LGBTQIA+ life through candid conversations and personal reflection. We talk identity, resilience, relationships, sobriety, parenthood, love, loss, and everything in between—with heart and humor.

This is more than a podcast—Out Loud & Laughing is a growing community, and your voice matters. We welcome your feedback, ideas, and questions. Think of us as your virtual cousins—open books, big hearts, and always ready to laugh out loud.
