As gay men, the bonds we have with our fathers can be complicated at best. But why is this? In our final episode of the year, we delve into our troubled pasts to see just how much our fathers influenced the men we became. We also look at the dynamics of daddy-son relationships and find some fathers who are making the world an easier place for their children to exist in.

UNPACKING: Rejection

Look beyond the rainbow flags, pride parades and parties and you'll see an ugly truth: gay men, men like us, are deeply, deeply lonely. We have been rejected from the world where we thought we could belong. In 2020, at a time when gay rights are some of the most progressive they've ever been, this might seem strange, or even misleading, but our suffering is at an all-time high.

In this first instalment of our conversations with psychologist and gay-thinker, Calum Anderson, we look specifically at the reasons for loneliness amongst gay men, ways to deal with rejection – be it from your family or over the apps, and how we can feel less alone in the gay world.

EPISODE 9: Monogamy

We've made it to season two! In our first episode, we tackle a topic that's long overdue for discussion: monogamy.
Tracking down your partner's fake profiles on Squirt or opening up your relationship.
This seems to be the only choice for us gay men. But is that actually true?
Why is it that so many gay men think monogamy is something outdated, unappealing or unsustainable? And what happens when you are forced to compromise your values simply so you are no longer alone?
Along with sharing our own personal stories (all names have been changed) we also chat to one man about the devastating effect an open relationship had on his life, and how he fought his way back from rock-bottom.
