In many cultures the aging process is embraced and revered because as we grow older we gain wisdom, stability and respect.

But for many people, especially gay men, the aging process is a deep source of anxiety and isolation as they come to terms with unfulfilled life expectations.

Some of us came out of the closet late in life and so aging reminds us of the youthful gay activities we missed out on. Some people will do anything to avoid embracing their adulthood because in many ways they were deprived in the past of a rich gay experience and are eager to make up for it as an adult.

How do we embrace the aging process in a healthy way when our lives don’t turn out the way we expected it to?

Embracing aging is not lowering your expectations; it’s finding new creative ways to expand your horizons.

On today’s show writer, journalist and communications consultant Louis Weisberg joins us to talk about growing old and loving it!

Well known for his sharp political editorial articles, Louis joins us to talk about how he’s begun to think of aging as a fabulous process and not something to be fearful of.

Louis talks about the controversial cover story where he detailed and photographed his plastic surgery procedures and why you shouldn’t be so afraid to go under the knife.

Having spent over 20 years working in the gay press in Chicago, Louis has met and interviewed many fabulous divas like Eartha Kitt and politicians like Barak Obama.

Even though he met and interviewed the Democratic Presidential candidate hopeful from Illinois, he thinks we all should back Hilary Clinton for President.

Listen as we talk about why gay men struggle with substance abuse, finding new love and the tumultuous history of gay publishing in Chicago. This is a show you don’t want to miss.
