To be queer is an affirming move. Yet, it takes a lot of coming to terms with our queer selves and knowing how to hold ourselves in our highest self-esteem.

Ann Russo joins us today to talk all aspects of queer affirming therapy, and how to be your queer self as a gay man over 40. Her professional insights as a mental health professional who specializes in sex positivity, queer issues, religious trauma are worth a listen guys.

  • Explore sex positivity and how to own it your way
  • Define what queer affirming therapy is and how to use it for personal growth
  • Dip our toes into the ever controversial monogamy, non-monogamy aspect of being queer
