Social Health

It gets better when we make it better. At HIM, we have a pretty simple idea: gay men with high self-esteem tend to live healthier lives and have access to better health choices. We're interested in improving social health factors that impact gay men, including the big-picture stuff like homophobia and heterosexism.  We also have listings for our Professional Volunteers who specialize in social health.

Remember when credible reports of a person's sexuality came from a person? Neither do I. As long as orientation is the subject of gossip blogs and sensationalized tabloids, it'll be treated as some scandalous personality flaw.

Gay Relationships Need Drama. True or Untrue?

Maybe it felt like you were finally being honest with yourself. Or your parents. Or your best friend. Or that girl you were dating. Or maybe you just told your dog and that felt good at the time. Maybe you told a complete stranger because it was easier
