Stright to gay
What should I do if I want to be a gay man though I'm a straight female?
Dear Aspiring Gay Male,
Questioning your sexual orientation or gender identity is a more common experience than many people realize. In fact, the Q in LGBTQ+ refers to questioning and queer populations. Reaching out to ask questions, as you’ve done here, is a great way to not only earn more information, but to help others realize they aren’t alone in the process of self-discovery. While Western society often promotes binary notions of persona, expression, and attraction (such as male versus female and gay versus straight) the reality is that these concepts are far more complex.

An Introduction
My client sat in the chair looking down at the floor, glancing up briefly to make eye contact, then darting his eyes back to the carpet. He spoke quietly, as if almost afraid to be heard. He clutched his hands throughout the session, displaying all the markers of an anxious man in the throes of shame. He was a fresh client to my practice: a married, middle-aged, suburban dad with a high-powered career. A colleague had given him my number months before. It took him a long time to muster the courage to call and make an appointment. Towards the end of our first session he looked up at me and said, “I think I’m in love…with another man. I’m scared and I don’t comprehend what to do.”
I have worked with hundreds of gay men in heterosexual marriages struggling with being in the closet or wanting to emerge from it. There is so much about these men that is misunderstood and very few studies or little literature to provide understanding.
