What Makes a Gay Story Worth Telling? w/ Fruit Fly Author Josh Silver

This week on Gay and Trying, we’re sitting down with the incredible author Josh Silver to chat about his smash-hit book Fruitfly, trading 12-hour NHS nursing shifts for sold-out book tours, and what it’s actually like to have your debut work explode overnight. We’re diving deep into the messy world of queer storytelling—from why we desperately need more unhinged, toxic LGBTQ+ characters to our unfiltered takes on queer casting debates and dating red flags. Plus, we play a spicy round of "Fair Game or Off Limits?" and share some our most unhinged "Respectfully / Disrespectfully" moments. Grab a drink, get comfy, and let’s get into it!
