Who do you know yourself to be? That's where we begin today. It's Pride weekend in Tucson, and today's message was partially inspired by this quote: “Queer People don't grow up as ourselves we grow up playing a version of ourselves that sacrifices authenticity to minimize humiliation and prejudice. The massive task of our adult lives is to unpick which parts of ourselves are truly us and and which parts were created to protect us.” -Alexander Leon, a queer writer. So... once again: Who do you know yourself to be?
This week's episode was inspired by a quote from Alexander Leon that speaks to how queer people come to understand and form our identities. In a tweet from 2020, Leon wrote, " Queer people don't grow up as ourselves, we grow up playing a version of ourselves that sacrifices authenticity to minimize humiliation & prejudice. The massive task of our adult lives is to unpick which parts of ourselves are truly us & which parts we've created to protect us." I think that this can have a profound effect on us, our work, and the way we choose to show up in the world. One of the results of this can be people-pleasing. People-pleasing can be a way to construct an illusion of safety in our lives but also keeps us from finding our true voice. In this episode, you will learn some of the ways I have scrutinized my own thoughts about myself and how it helps me to continue showing up in service to my community. Link to Aleander's tweet.

"Queer people don't grow up as ourselves, we grow up playing a version of ourselves that sacrifices authenticity to minimize humiliation and prejudice." Alexander Leon hit the nail on the head with this quote and the boys discuss it at the top of the show. Things quickly get back on brand when the boys help define a couple of choice phrases. In the journal Mike enjoys some QT with the family while on a brief break between contracts.
Join Emmanuel and Bertus this week as they discuss the role of sexuality in relationships. Based on shows like Ossan's Love, YouTubers like Jeffree Star, personal experiences, and the fantasies of many, they ask themselves if a relationship is possible between straight and gay men. They also discuss intimacy in relationships and if it is needed for a happy longterm relationship. Read what one of our Queeros, Alexander Leon says about living in the closet and coming out here.

Alexander Leon is a rising star in the community and his new YouTube channel is a Godsend. His searing yet bubbly takes on LGBTQ life are a welcome counter to the often toxic conversations we hear in the media and he is such a fabulous example of what happens when we lean into ourselves. Today, we explore how he navigates his mixed-race identity, what he feels is his role as a mediator between cultures, ideas and beliefs and how he’d like the conversation around the mental health crisis in the LGBTQ community to change. Importantly, he calls us to consider how we create space for different approaches to a common problem because what we may consider divergent approaches to our activism are perhaps more complementary than we think. As you do when you’re chatting with friends, our conversation takes a few tangents, including into a discussion about Louis de Berniere’s magical realism trilogy and the celebration of mestizos in Colombia.——Head over to Alex's YouTube channel, where you can watch videos like Sexual Racism in the LGBTQ Community.——One of our dedicated listeners is doing some doctoral research and invites you to take part. The study aims to observe how different social factors can expose individuals to stress and how this may link to various mental health outcomes, including how single and multiple social identities may correlate to exposure to stress.
