Wir sind schwul, wir sind toll, wir haben noch so viel zu entdecken. Wir hören auf uns selbst, wir tun das für uns. Der Weg zum emanzipierten, bewusst lebenden schwulen Mann kann als Heldenreise bezeichnet werden. Er ist eine Achterbahn der Gefühle, die durch dunkle Täler und auf sonnenbeleuchtete Berge führt. Jede neue Etappe beginnt mit der Betrachtung des aktuellen Standorts. Wo komme ich her und wohin soll es gehen? Notiere dir Gedanken und Gefühle zu den folgenden Aussagen: 1. Ich...

Congratulations. This is the first entry in the whole World Wide Web on the word "misoqueerism". When you type it into Google, there are indeed zero entries. Curious.

I'm sure you know this feeling you get when you are thinking about the same thing over and over again. For some people, thought spirals and rumination lead to sleepless nights. As crazy as it sounds - it doesn't have to. When even writing the 100th pro- and contra-list make you more anxious, it's high time to interrupt and try something new. At least Steve de Shazer provided an interesting method to take a whole new perspective on recurring thoughts. You can write your answers down, say them...
