  • It’s within gay culture that promotes jadedness

    I’ve never hid my sexuality and must think I’m straight and I’ve felt more hatefulness from gay people than outsiders - trauma seems to keep building up

  • A Slightly Jaded Gay Review

    First of all, I absolutely love Rob’s podcast! The range of topics he touches on in each episode are things that we within the LGBTQ+ community can benefit and learn from, especially our history that’s often overlooked by mainstream society. The well-being topics he discusses are relevant because we all have *trauma* that we don’t know we have, and they’ve helped me in my therapy sessions. Lastly, this podcast is awesome to feel more connected with the community if one lives in an area which doe... more

  • I’m def jaded

    I know I’m jaded and I hate it. This isn’t the person I wanted to be, and Rob breaks down the issues that a lot of gay men have. From relationships with ourselves, others, social stigma, trauma, depression, anxiety, and many other issues. I love the tarot reading as well, because it is helping me understand what the cards mean and how to read them.
