What’s Holding You Back from the Life You Deserve? | Gay Man Healing Journey

Feeling stuck or unfulfilled as a gay man? You’re not alone. Many of us have spent years hiding our true selves, shrinking to fit in, or seeking love through approval. In this video, we explore gay men’s mental health, healing from past trauma, and rebuilding self-worth — so you can finally live the life you truly deserve.

Maybe you’ve been told to “be less,” or learned to survive by putting others first. But deep down, a part of you knows: this isn’t the life you want. If you’re exploring trauma healing, emotional growth, or building real confidence as a gay man, this video speaks to your journey.

We’ll talk about what’s really holding you back — and how to reclaim your inner power, begin healing, and reconnect with your authentic needs.
In this video on personal development for gay men, we’ll explore:

• Why so many gay men learn to shrink themselves
• The emotional cost of hiding who you really are
• How to begin your healing journey by reconnecting with your inner strength
• The importance of loving yourself first — before seeking love from others

It’s time to remember who you are: your strength, your beauty, your flaws, your passions. Because you matter — and you are worthy of living a life of joy, pleasure, and authenticity.



This is a very sincere and sensible message. A great help to young gay people trying to come to terms with their difficulties in life. – Mark Alexander

Growing Up Gay in Canada

Apr 25, 2024 | Stephen Chambers sheds light on the fear and hurdles he had to overcome as a gay man.


My goodness! Gay people have had to suffer since time immemorial simply for preferring to kiss and love people of their own sex instead of people of the opposite sex. It is unbelievable that this benighted world we inhabit still makes such a big thing about something so simple and natural. By the way, it is natural by dint of the very fact it occurs in nature. Anything that occurs in nature is natural.

It is high time that people got over their biases and prejudices. Gays have always existed; and they will continue to exist – forever! It is therefore high time that benighted people stopped making gay people’s lives a misery.

For your information, some of the most refined men I have ever met have been gay. Even though I have actually mixed with very few gay men in my whole life — I didn’t come out until my late forties! — one thing has always stood out for me: gay men are often extremely refined, erudite, and are fond of the finer things this life has to offer. The gay men I have known have always been rather well-dressed, and lovers of fine food and wines. They are also frequently very good conversationalists, probably because they are usually very well-read. – © Mark Alexander

This is BRILLIANT! But it shouldn’t surprise anyone. Yuval Noah Harari is a brilliant man with a brilliant mind.

I am re-posting it soon after posting it the first time because it is a lesson which benighted people everywhere need to learn and understand. When it comes to homosexuality, most of the world is still in complete darkness. Ignorance and superstition abound. – © Mark Alexander

Jul 22, 2024 | Tag Warner, a Forbes 30 under 30 honouree, is a proven game changer in the industry. After becoming CEO of GAY TIMES at the age of 24, Tag has overseen some impressive changes within the company and overcome some ‘healthy scepticism' at the start of his tenure.

We Can’t Dissent Against 'New Gay Orthodoxy’, Says Christian Charity


THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: Biblical scriptures are in danger of becoming too politically incorrect to be expressed in modern Britain thanks to the campaigning of gay rights activists, the Court of Appeal hears

Gay and lesbian rights activists are seeking to be the new “moral enforcers” and it is Christian religious conservatives who now need protection to be allowed to dissent against “the new orthodoxy”, it was claimed.

Core Issues Trust, a Christian charity, is challenging a ban on its London bus advertisement reading: “Not Gay! Ex-Gay, Post-Gay and Proud. Get over it!” It was a response to a bus poster campaign by gay rights group Stonewall carrying the message: “Some people are gay. Get over it!”

Paul Diamond, for the charity, told appeal judges that at the heart of the case was the “ironical” situation in modern British society where ancient Biblical scriptures, which played an important role in forming the nation’s morals, were now in danger of containing views which could no longer be expressed “in a land with a reputation for free speech”.

Mr Diamond said Christian scriptures only permitted sexual relationships between one man and one woman in marriage and people should be entitled to express that view. He said the case raised the question: “Is the belief that homosexuality is a sin worthy of respect in a democratic society?”

The charity accuses the Mayor of London Boris Johnson of unlawfully using his position as chairman of Transport for London (TfL) to obtain the ban in order to secure the gay vote and advance his 2012 re-election campaign. » | Tuesday, December 10, 2013

Malawi Frees Jailed Gay Couple

THE GUARDIAN: President pardons pair 'on humanitarian grounds' after meeting UN secretary general Ban Ki-moon

A gay couple sentenced to serve 14 years in jail in Malawi have been pardoned after their country's president met Ban Ki-moon, the UN secretary general.

Steven Monjeza, 26, and Tiwonge Chimbalanga, 20, were tried and found guilty of sodomy and indecency earlier this month in a move that sparked international condemnation.

But after talking with Ban today, Malawi's president, Bingu wa Mutharika, announced the pair would be freed.

"These boys committed a crime against our culture, our religion and our laws," he said after the meeting, at the southern African country's State House. "However, as the head of state, I hereby pardon them and therefore ask for their immediate release with no conditions.

"I have done this on humanitarian grounds, but this does not mean that I support this."

He added: "We don't condone marriages of this nature. It's unheard of in Malawi and it's illegal."

Ban praised the decision, but said: "It is unfortunate that laws criminalise people based on sexuality. Laws that criminalise sexuality should be repealed."

He is due to address Malawi's national assembly later and is expected to ask legislators to look at this.

Although the order was immediate, a prison spokesman told The Associated Press they had not received notification to release the pair by Saturday afternoon.

Earlier this week, a cousin of Chimbalanga, Maxwell Manda, said that he wanted to leave Malawi upon his release.

Joseph Amon from Human Rights Watch said the president was responding to the international outcry following the couple's conviction and sentence.

"I hope that other leaders of African countries with anti-gay laws see that this is just not acceptable in the international community," he said. >>> Amy Fallon | Saturday, May 29, 2010

Malawi President Pardons Gay Couple After UN Pressure

THE TELEGRAPH: President Bingu wa Mutharika of Malawi has pardoned a homosexual couple who had been jailed for 14 years.

Mr wa Mutharika had been under international pressure to reconsider the convictions of Steven Monjeza, 26, and Tiwonge Chimbalanga, 20. They were arrested in December after they were united in a traditional wedding ceremony in the conservative southern African country, where homosexuality is illegal.

Ban Ki-moon, the United Nations Secretary General, met the Malawian president on Saturday in the capital Lilongwe.

Speaking shortly afterwards, Mr wa Mutharika said: "These boys committed a crime against our culture, our religion and our laws.

"However, as the head of state I hereby pardon them and therefore ask for their immediate release with no conditions." >>> | Saturday, May 29, 2010
