On this episode of A Gay And A NonGay, James and Dan are joined by author, comedian and honorary sixth straight guest, Max Dickins! Max opens up about the inspiration behind his brilliant book Billy No-Mates — a deep-dive into male friendship sparked by the realisation he had no one to ask to be his best man. Together, they unpack the complexities of male friendships, masculinity, vulnerability, and why so many straight men are stuck in a “friendship recession”. The trio get hilariously real about everything from stag do admin to homophobic hang-ups around hugging, going for dinner (too gay?), and why Nando’s is apparently the safest middle ground. Plus, James shares his theory around why platonic love after heartbreak might just be more romantic than romance itself.

We’re joined by Richard Angell, OBE and Chief Executive of the Terrence Higgins Trust, on this week's episode of A Gay And A NonGay!  The Terrence Higgins Trust is at the forefront of the fight against HIV, striving for a future where there are no new cases of HIV, where people living with HIV get the support they need and there is good sexual health for all. Richard joins James and Dan to talk about the ongoing fight against HIV and the stigma that still surrounds it. From the legacy of Terrence Higgins, the first known person in the UK to die of AIDS, to the urgent need for better sex education for queer men. Richard shares powerful insights and reflects on the challenges posed by formal faith institutions and how we can push for a more inclusive future.  Follow A Gay & A NonGay TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠@gaynongay⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠@gaynongay⁠⁠⁠⁠ YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠@gaynongay⁠⁠⁠⁠ Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠@gaynongay⁠⁠⁠⁠ Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠gaynongay.com⁠⁠⁠⁠ Email Us: ⁠⁠⁠⁠us@gaynongay.com⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.
