I love my divas, but I don’t have any friends. If you find yourself asking this question, have we got a show for you!
Joining us on today’s podcast is Jason McVicker, Director of Mental Health Services for the Center on Halsted -the Midwest’s largest GLBT community center. Besides providing daily help to many gays in need, Jason lectures on Opera. Jason is a man who loves his divas.
But for some gay men who suffer Diva Dissociative Trauma or DDT life isn’t always a beautiful aria. They avoid healthy relationships with their own peers and instead lose themselves in the works of powerful female celebrities.
When does our love for our divas interfere with our daily living? What are the warning signs that diva worship has gone too far?
Jason brings some insights into many of the mental health issues gay men face and some simple steps you can take to find help.
We also talk about a broad range of mental health issues and the brutal killing of 14 year old high school student Lawrence King. We discuss how to talk to young people about the brutal murder?
More on why you should vote for Barak Obama or is that Hillary Clinton?
Speaking of divas, stick around to the end of the show where we share with you some up to the minute Cher plastic surgery gossip.
We love our divas but more importantly, we love you! The podcast that brings out the sassy diva in you- Feast of Fools.
