In this episode of the Unapologaytic podcast, host Pierre speaks with Dr Jason Durant, author of Boy from the North Country, about their shared experiences of growing up in small communities and grappling with masculinity and acceptance as gay men. They discuss the pervasive sense of alienation amongst gay men, even in tolerant places like New York City. Dr Durant delves into the impacts of internalised homophobia, the grief of missed opportunities, and the ongoing journey of self-acceptance. He emphasises the necessity of facing uncomfortable emotions, fostering supportive relationships, and the daily commitment to self-care and personal growth. They touch upon the importance of authentic pride, the healing process of revisiting and comforting past traumas, and strategies for processing anger.
