#77: Breaking Free | Facing Unrealistic Expectations in the Gay Community & Reclaiming Your True Self

In this episode, we are discussing the processes of losing yourself in the Gay community. As humans, we have a deep desire to be a part of a community and belong - but what happens when the community you thought was your safe haven betrays you? We will discuss the societal pressures we experience as Gay & Bi men, dealing with internalized stigma (homophobia), how to identify if you're lost, and how to find yourself again.
