Overcoming Gay Shame & Living Authentically

Presented by Ryan Jacobs, LMSW

Overcoming Gay Shame

Coming out of the closet may be a scary and intimidating moment for a gay man. It is just the beginning of a new life. After this big moment, gay men are often left on their own to navigate a world full of new and unfamiliar things they may not understand. In an effort to fit in, gay men may take on traits or behaviors that may not be consistent with their authentic selves: it may be a way of overcoming gay shame. This can become problematic as it has consequences for our self-esteem and overall well-being.
