About GTS8

Have you ever asked yourself any of the following questions? If so, you’re in the right place.

“How and when do I come out to my family and friends?”

“I would love a relationship, but how do I find someone in a hookup culture?” 

“What are good ways to practice safe sex? Is a condom good enough?”

“Why do I feel like an outcast in my community? Where do I fit in?”

Gays Talking Straight is here to help you and the LGBTQ community by having conversations and sharing information regarding important issues, while also having meaningful discussions on relevant topics. 

 

Our story

Hello, I’m Richard Lamberty. I want to tell you a little more about how this all began, and how we can help you no matter where you are on your life’s journey.

I started mentoring as part of a program at a local university back in 2009. I continued to work with young gay men throughout the past ten plus years and noticed a consistent theme of topics. Such as: coming out, dating and relationships, hooking up, and shame.

In the spring of 2019, I met a young man named Rafy. He suggested I should take my mentoring further than working one on one with gay men. He expressed the possibility to reach out to our entire LGBTQ community, and even beyond that.

Our team expanded quickly, and we began working on ways to discuss topics that matter most to you through articles, videos, and podcasts!

 

We are here for you

We invite you, our audience, to help us find and explore topics. It’s only with your help that we can really be Gay Talking Straight about the things that matter to us, our community and our lives.
