EP18 – Michael Mazzocco – District 4
This week on the GayPHX Podcast, we’re coming off a weekend that reminded us exactly what this community looks like when it shows up.
A sold-out screening. Packed meet and greets. The AZ Pup Title Contest. GRIT lighting up the night. And some of our favorite moments? Getting to laser custom pup tags on the spot and seeing those smiles hit the second someone held their name in their hands. That’s the magic right there.
We’re also celebrating two incredible titleholders stepping into their year:
2026 AZ Puppy Goodboy Rex and 2026 AZ Trainer Ms. Unique — congratulations to both of you. We’re excited to watch what you do next and to help tell those stories along the way.
Then we sit down with Michael Mazzocco, who’s not just asking the hard questions — he’s stepping up to answer them. Running for Phoenix City Council, District 4, Michael brings years of advocacy, leadership, and lived experience into a conversation about what it actually takes to build spaces where people feel seen, heard, and supported.
This is what GayPHX is all about — real voices, real stories, and real connection.
If you’ve ever thought about being part of it… this is your sign.
