I have been working closely over the last couple of weeks with Max from the blog Well I gotta say, Being gay is - on his LGBTQIA (sing along with me), podcast called Speak Upp! The concepts behind the site are fantastic. But as it is still in development, a fresh drag queen on stage, there is room for change, ideas, and rainbow glitter. That's why I am coming to you, my readers. And according to Max's reference in his blog post about his experience at Mocc: Opening Up the Queer Conversations, I apparently am owned by Good as Gay.

"That night there was a tremendous drag show put on by the st cloud drag troop, which I was so privileged to attend with Good as Gay's Jacob!"

Here's the blurb on the project. Speak Upp aims to develop a national presence where LGBTQIA viewers can build up close relationships with individuals through their podcasts. Podcasters will have e mail addresses, blogs, vlogs, Twitters and Facebooks etc where listeners can connect individually with the podcasters they enjoy listening to. These social networking sites will be associated to their podcasts accounts on SpeakUpp. That's where you come in. We need podcasters!

You don't have to be this gay to join!

We need people who are fabulous, preferably awesome, and someone who isn't afraid of talking about their personal lives to a potential national audience. And most importantly SpeakUpp needs someone who is open to having genuine relationships with their followers and listeners. That's the key to the site. Does this sound like something you'd love to be a part of? (Get me some glitter and sign me up!) Ok, we are fine with people who like guns, cars, and manly things too!

Here's what you need to do. It's best if you have a Blog, Twitter, and a Facebook. And even better a YouTube page. The more the merrier. If you are interested in this but don't have these things, feel free to start one. I can help you out to build your profile.

Secondly, you should contact either myself at j[email protected] or Max at - (muwahahaha) his Facebook page! Maxamilian Joseph Maltese  (that's right, I just used your full name. You're in trouble now!) Here's is e mail too - [email protected] If you contact me I will do what I can to get you started and then I will refer you to Max. That's just how evil I really am. When you contact us, tell us a little about yourself, your life story, and bring some Kleenex and laughing gas. Things are going to get humorously emotional. From there, we will take you under our wings and get you set up with your own personal blurb and information on the site!

We look forward to being your bestest friends forever! All you have to do is get in touch.
