That site shows the various available services for JC mens therapy. I ALSO mentioned alcoholics, and victims, but you honed in on the ‘gay’ stuff. I’m inclusive not exclusive, finding therapy online is very lane specific, Substance abuse/Pride/PTSD stuff are the issues the above site addresses. It does not address the issue I have, and it costs money. If you got issues I got tissues. Do you have something to add? I also said DM me, this could be a private discourse.

LOL. OK, so... I was intending the exact OPPOSITE of what folks apparently think I meant. I found it odd that you mentioned the word "gay" more than once, and made sure to let folks know you weren't gay--as if sexuality was relevant. I took your comments as homophobic. I guess I was the only one.

So, for the record: I'm an LGBQT ally, folks!

Yea, there's an awful lot of mentioning of gay. Weird. And "I won't turn you away if you're gay" Wow, such an honorable white heterosexual man! 🤦

Right? Ok, so I'm not the only one who found this... off-putting.

It also got lumped in with alcoholism or being a victim of trauma, as if it's a problem to overcome. It read as a little off to me, too. I do think it was well-intentioned, but as you can see from the reaction to your comment, good intentions can be misinterpreted.
