    Topic: Internalized Homophobia

    Discussion: Internalized Homophobia is a topic that we have discussed at our meetings for many years. The concept is that all of us grow up in a world that reflects back to us that the feelings we have are wrong, immoral, or sick. Gay men often internalize these feelings to the point where they become a part of our personal belief system. It could be argued that this is even more so with the gay father.  Not only are we dealing with those internal feelings of inadequacy- but possibly guilt and shame around the possibility of a change in our family dynamic. In many cases hidden and secret, our truth revealed to none -including ourselves. These feelings can affect how we deal with others and how we believe in ourselves. 

    Tonight we will share our experiences in recognizing and dealing with internalized homophobia.
