This week on The Big Gay Radio Show, hosts Chris Gorman and Esmé Russell welcomed Scott Simon, a go-go dancer at Bradley’s on 7th, for a conversation about life on stage, his personal journey, and the realities behind one of Tampa’s most recognizable LGBTQIA+ nightlife venues.
Scott Simon shared his story of how he became a regular dancer and what it’s like performing in a space that has served as a hub for the community in Ybor City for 15 years. The trio also discussed new developments surrounding the Pulse memorial in Orlando, which continues moving forward nearly a decade after the tragedy that claimed 49 lives.
They also examined Florida’s Senate passing a ban on diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, Uber’s rollout of women-only preference settings nationwide, and the tragic death of a teacher following a teenage prank gone wrong.
The conversation continued on The Big Gay After Show, where topics ranged from international and local news, including leadership changes in Iran, to entertainment headlines like Britney Spears’ recent DUI arrest and Timothée Chalamet’s comments about ballet and operas. The team also discussed Frankie Grande’s “power bottom” request, the growing issue of misinformation and fake news spreading on social media, and how quickly stories can spiral online before the facts are fully known.
