Episode notes

This young gay guy suffers from internalized homophobia. He is perfectly OK with his sexuality, but keeps asking why the LGBT community has to be 'so queer.' In today's episode, radio graduate Sean Allsop finds out if it's possible to overcome your shame of being gay – and learns why he has, until now, projected his own homophobia onto others.

With thanks to Matthew Todd, his book Straight Jacket is available in paperback in April, and hardback now. To therapist Stephen Hanscomb, And also Switchboard. If you ever want to call them, you can call 10am-10pm every day on 0300 330 0630
