The Rise of the Gay Pick Me's
from The Queer Ritual Podcast · host Riki B Malone
"Pick me! Pick me! I'm not like the other gays!" It's like clockwork you'll hear some variation on social media about how hard it is to not fit gay stereotypes, or how the community doesn't feel welcoming. Some of these criticisms can be very real, but others can just be "Pick Me" behavior. In this episode, I will describe some common Gay Pick Me gripes, and how to save yourself from the Pick Me mindset. We'll dive deeper into the wounds that can cause this Pick Me behavior, and I offer practical tips on how to build deeper friendships and relationships with other men.It's also my birthday!
