Finding Love Again After Losing It: A Conversation on Same Sex Divorce and Marriage with Taune

In this episode, we engage in a candid conversation with guest Taune about the complexities of marriage within the LGBTQ+ community. With marriage being a ‘new’ option for gay men, not many have had the experience of getting married yet, let alone divorced. We wanted to explore this and we appreciate Taune’s willingness to share his journey through marriage, divorce, and remarriage. We discuss the challenges of acceptance from family, the significance of communication in relationships, and the evolving expectations that come with marriage. The conversation highlights the importance of being true to oneself and the dynamics of love and support in the face of societal norms. Taune discusses how his views on love, marriage, and partnerships have evolved, particularly in the context of LGBTQ relationships. This dialogue emphasizes the significance of therapy, personal growth, and the need for open discussions about desires and expectations in relationships. Taune also reflects on future aspirations with his current husband, highlighting the importance of creating a unique and meaningful partnership.“Just… Why Did I Get Married Twice"_______________________________Takeaways:Marriage is a significant step in relationships, especially for LGBTQ+ couples.Many gay men have not seen traditional marriage models, impacting their views on marriage.Family acceptance can vary greatly, affecting personal relationships.The proposal experience can be unique and non-traditional in LGBTQ+ relationships.Communication and setting expectations are crucial in any marriage.Support from friends and chosen family can be more impactful than biological family support._______________________________Listen to Our 90’s Playlist:YouTube Music:https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTzaf4yOmTtwfewr5Lq5jTB9Y5JvKg8lh&si=Lqv2Xassq-woeJUASpotify:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4xX9SSUHjjxdk7CkqUHUuNApple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/the-just-drawz-podcast-presents-decades-the-90s/pl.u-06oxDB6uJNjgJe_______________________________Hosts:DMC:⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/kklothesminded⁠⁠⁠https://x.com/DMCureton⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/deeemcee⁠Jeff:⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/jefflevelsup⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.x.com/jefflevelsup⁠https://linktr.ee/jefflevelsup⁠_______________________________Just Drawz on Social Media:⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/thejustdrawzpodcast⁠https://linktr.ee/JustDrawz⁠_______________________________Edited and produced by:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/jefflevelsup⁠⁠⁠_______________________________Music: "Neptunes" - by Black Assassin -⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/blk_assassin_______________________________Keywords:acceptance, authenticity, Black and brown men, Black gay men, boundaries, collaboration, communication, cultural differences, divorce, divorce impact, emotional healing, expectations, family, future aspirations, gay, gay marriage, healing, honest conversations, identity, independence, industry insights, influence, legacy, LGBTQ, LGBTQ relationships, LGBTQIA,, love, marriage, marriage views, masculinity, mental health, personal growth, proposals, queerness, relationship dynamics, relationships, safe spaces, Same gender loving, same sex marriage, self improvement, self love, self reflections, self-discovery, self-perception, sexual exploration, SGL, societal perceptions, success, support, vulnerability_______________________________#justdrawz #Acceptance #Authenticity #BlackAndBrownMen #BlackGayMen #Boundaries #Collaboration #Communication #CulturalDifferences #Divorce #DivorceImpact #EmotionalHealing #Expectations #Family #FutureAspirations #Gay #GayMarriage #Healing #HonestConversations #Identity #Independence #Influence #Legacy #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA #Love #Marriage #MarriageViews #MentalHealth #PersonalGrowth #Proposals #Queerness #RelationshipDynamics #Relationships #SameGenderLoving #SameSexMarriage #SelfReflections #SelfDiscovery #SGL #SocietalPerceptions #Support #Vulnerability
