Gay Men Going Deeper

The Challenges of Being a Gay Man


Listen Later

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.
