You may be familiar with Prince Joshua from his social media, his presence in LGBTQ nightlife, or from the recent splash he made from his entrance on For the Love of DILFs, the queer answer to a dating reality show that matches DILFS and himbos. (For those unfamiliar, himbos refers to an attractive but not very bright male.) Before you hit the cancel culture button, the term himbos on this show is actually used as a foil as we find out there’s more going on with the contestants than just a hot body. Like the show, Prince Joshua has a veneer of good looks and sexual energy. When you look further, you find there’s a lot more going on when you look at Joshua’s educated activism, especially when it comes to building bridges with our trans community. That peeling back of the facade was the reason Joshua did the show in the first place. Prince Joshua graces the cover of the April issue of GED Magazine, which you can check out on newsstands or at GEDMag.com.

On this episode of US of Gay, Prince Joshua chats with his…from his bed! We talk about where his title comes from, how anyone can claim their royalty, his early life in Idaho, being raised in a religious environment, what spirituality looks like for him today, what being an influencer means, his future goals, the celebration of sexuality in today’s age, his future goals, his body issues, and more. We also get the BTS tea from his time on For the Love of DILFS and what he learned about himself and our gay culture from doing the show. Did he find love? You’ll have to listen and find out. Things get deep as we talk about his sister Rose’s coming out as trans, what we can learn from the trans community, how the gay community can support our trans family, and the straight community’s obligation to support our LGBTQ political efforts. All that and more with host Alexander Rodriguez.
