EP06 – Shannon McKenzie – AGRA
This week on the GayPHX Podcast, we’re stepping into a full, vibrant moment in our community.
We look back with gratitude on an electric First Friday, a wildly fun Dirty Bits night, and a packed weekend that reminded us why chosen family matters. We honor Black History Month by spotlighting the legacy of Audre Lorde — a Black queer voice who challenged silence and taught us that community is something we actively build.
It’s also gay rodeo week, and our featured conversation dives deep into what gay rodeo really is: a tradition rooted in service, leadership, inclusion, and heart. If you’ve ever been curious about rodeo — or thought it wasn’t for you — this episode might surprise you.
We also share what’s coming up this week across Phoenix, including your last chance to win IBC tickets at Lotería this Thursday at Thunderbird Lounge, plus a packed calendar leading into rodeo weekend.
As always, we’re grateful you’re here.
This isn’t just a podcast — it’s a community check-in.
