Show Notes
In this episode of G’Day Gay, Russell Ray and Paul V. tackle the world of thirst traps and the social media beauty standards that dominate gay spaces. From Instagram to Grindr, who gets the likes, and why? The duo dives into the role of colorism, unpacking how lighter skin tones and Eurocentric beauty standards often dictate who’s celebrated and who’s overlooked. Russell opens up about his experiences as a Latino man navigating these biases, while Paul shares insights from Australia and beyond.
