In this insightful episode, we turn our focus to the often unspoken challenges that come with being a gay man. The reality for many queer folks is that our lives are met with unique hurdles that impact our mental, emotional, and social well-being.

Through candid discussions and personal experiences, we are looking at these challenges from the gay male perspective. Some of the topics we’ll be covering are:

• Learning to hide who you are 





• Social discrimination





• External and internalized homophobia





• Dealing with rejection





• Loneliness and isolation 





• Our relationship to masculinity 





• Sexual shame





• Impacts to self-worth and self-esteem 





• Finding acceptance within our families and communities 

This episode aims to foster a deeper understanding and empathy for the challenges gay men face, providing a platform for open dialogue and support. Whether you're a member of the LGBTQ+ community or an ally seeking to learn more, this conversation will help foster awareness and solidarity.
