Gaubert twins

It’s a sunny Spring afternoon, and we’re in dusky private members venue The Phoenix Artists Club, with two hot gay French entrepreneurial twins. THATS not something you say every day is it.

 


Hot gay entrepreneurial twins are definitely worthy of an interview. But Pierre and Adrien Gaubert are more than just pretty faces. They’ve got an award-winning website that links LGBT professionals. Something that’s wonderfully important in a potentially mysoginist, homophobic working environment.

They spoke to Dylan Jones about business, and British men.

Hey boys…so tell us a bit about yourselves.

ADRIEN: We are twins! We are 27, we grew up in a little town in the South of France. We moved to London 4 years ago to study our masters and decided there is no better place to live than London! We love to hang out with our friends and meet new people, travel, and come back!

How does the London gay scene compare to France’s?

PIERRE: The London gay scene is always very trendy. When we came here a couple of years ago after living in China and Mexico, we really enjoyed going out in London. We love that people are so open minded and a bit a crazy sometimes (in a good way). We have many friends from Paris and heard that the scene is getting better and better, copying the parties in London or Berlin. Maybe we’ll go for a weekend to check it out.

What’s your favourite thing about the London scene?

ADRIEN: In London, everyone can be who they want to be. Nobody judges you or looks at you. Once we went clubbing and there was a 70-year-old man wearing a tutu and shirtless. No-one in the club even looked at him. In France, sadly he would have stayed at the door. London is vibrant! Also, we have the feeling straight girls and guys feel much better going out in the LGBT scene in London. They feel more welcome, which is great! We think it is important for the LGBT community to be inclusive towards our straight allies.

Where do you like to go out?

PIERRE: We like to go out everywhere. We’re not picky. From having a nice drink in Soho with friends, ending with going to Heaven, to a crazy Friday in Clapham or East London and sometimes a bit wilder when the fire of the party gets to us! We also love to travel and enjoy other countries’ gay scenes. Mykonos is by far our favourite. People are chilled and it is a great place to meet new friends.

Do you like British guys?

PIERRE: The UK is made of various cultures and looks so yes, we like British guys. Who would not fall for the British accent?

“Of course when we go out and people have had more than one beer, they ask if we have sex together.”

Who would be your ideal man?

ADRIEN: Like anyone else, we would not say no to a nice, smart, handsome and successful guy. Any prince charming out-there is welcome!

What’s it like being gay twins?! Do you get a lot of attention?

ADRIEN: Attention is not what we get, we get looks and the same questions over and over ‘are you guys twins?’ but sometimes people ask if we are boyfriends which is a bit confusing as we evidently share some genes…and, of course when we go out and people have had more than one beer, they will ask if we have sex together, as if it’s something normal for brothers to sleep together. Maybe for some people their fantasy is a reality!

Tell us about your business.

PIERRE: We launched myGwork after we both experienced homophobic situation at work. myGwork ease networking between LGBT professionals, graduates and LGBT-friendly organisations. Our goal is to remove the fear of coming out at work for everyone and help companies create a more inclusive and diverse workplace for our community.

What do you have planned for the future?

In the near future we will expand myGwork to the US and the northern European countries.
