## Resource

There's a loneliness epidemic quietly spreading through the LGBTQ+ community — and this week, Zach isn't pretending it isn't happening. From broken dating apps and toxic friends to the slow shrinking of your social circle as you get older, he gets honest about what's really going on. Plus: the story of how he accidentally became the Mayor of Gay New York City, and why Boston might be next.
