Shame and Sexuality in the Lives of Queer Guys
January 19, 2023 @ 1:00 p.m. - 2:30 p.m. ET
Presented by: Rahim Thawer MSW, RSW
Many queer guys feel bad about who they are and what they desire. Even after we “come out” past negative experiences have already left their imprint. There is a residue from internalized messages about what it means to be a queer man in a straight world. From the lens of a queer racialized man and clinical social worker, this presentation will consider how systems of homophobia and racism can manifest themselves as chronic shame. We will take an exploratory approach to examine how shame interferes with queer men’s execution of desire, shapes the motivation for partner-seeking, and reinforces HIV stigma in our communities.

Please note: If you are not an RSW, RSSW or student of these programs in Ontario, you may still attend but will be charged a fee of $20.
