Black and white image of a bearded man smiling in a photo frame with the signature "The Gary Bradshaw Show," against a backdrop of multiple open-mouthed smiles.

The Gay Bradshaw works in aviation, which means he technically spends more time in the clouds than with his feet on the ground. A perfect metaphor for starting a writing career with zero experience. This is his first attempt at a weekly column, so buckle up, keep your tray tables up and let’s hope this flight doesn’t experience too much turbulence.

CURRENT ONLINE COLUMNS

  • HOW TO GET SKINNY IN 10 STEPS?

    WEEK 18/2025

    I’ve hinted at it before but the fact is: I have been overweight. Massively overweight. Do you know these BMI calculators online? Well when I filled in my details it said: way too high. I kid you not. At my heaviest the scale produced 3 digits! 

    Let me take you back, and if you have read my columns you might already know this but I once used to play water polo with 9 training sessions a week.

  • IS EVERYTHING BLACK AND WHITE?

    WEEK 17/2025

    Every so often the little boy in me wonders, where do I truly come from and where do I belong?

    As cabin crew for a major international airline, I’ve visited so many great cities and countries around the world, perks of the job, I guess. Going to Suriname is always a bit more special, though. A former colony of the Netherlands at the top of Latin America. When I mention this country, most people outside the Netherlands don't actually know anything of this paradise…

  • THE GAY REVELATION I WAS WAITING FOR!

    WEEK 16/2025

    My younger years were a little different than most. You see, I played water polo for the Dutch national team. We trained 9 times a week, before school, after school and 1 or 2 matches a week. So partying wasn’t  really a thing I did until I injured my shoulder and wasn't able to play water polo anymore.I found myself gaining a lot of weight until it got so bad that if you painted me white I would be the Michelin man.

    Obviously this, and other things I might write a column about one day, influenced my confidence a lot…

  • HOW DO I KINTSUGI MY BROKEN HEART?

    WEEK 15/2025

    Have you ever truly experienced heartbreak? I think most of us have. You feel like your world collapses, your heart breaking in a thousand little pieces and no one is able to fix that, no medicine, no instant cure.

    When I think back on my heartbreaks of the past, only one really comes to mind. Quite recent if i'm honest. Let me take you back…

  • NEED AND INTRO?

    Introduction needed?

    So where do I begin? The standard introduction is a bit boring. Name age and location? Top or bottom? I mean it is not Grindr. I think it would be a better idea to use this platform for you to get to know me. 

    So let me start how this adventure began.

    I have always wanted to write but I never actually started till…
