Possibilities in the Air.
Pride is upon us, the time when myriad LGBTQIA identities, and allies show up to fill the San Francisco streets with laughter, “looks'', affection, and connection. Although the pandemic paused Pride for the past two years, the Pride traditions are very familiar – the making of eye contact with a stranger while marching to Dolores, the debauchery with new and old friends, flirtatious movements on the dance floor and, for those that are fortunate, new sexual experiences.

So, to help you with your decision to join the group or share with a friend or client, we’ve created this FAQ for more details.
Queer men in the margins
There’s a lot of talk in the therapeutic and coaching communities about LGBTQIA+ issues. But what about queer men who exist on the margins of society? In this blog post, we’ll explore some unique challenges they face. Queer men in the margins often struggle with isolation, poverty, and mental health issues. They also face discrimination and violence at higher rates than other members of the LGBTQIA+ community. If you’re a therapist or coach working with queer men, you must be aware of these issues and provide support accordingly.
