Episode 10 : We Hate What We Were Taught To Be

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2541501/fan_mail/new] Gay men survived the world telling them who they were was wrong. And some of them turned around and said the same thing to their own community. In this episode, Dorian gets into femme shaming, masc culture, drag, and the internalized homophobia we still haven't fully confronted — even with each other.

Episode 9: If he says this on a first date… leave.

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2541501/fan_mail/new] Most people don’t get hurt because they didn’t see it. They get hurt because they saw it… and stayed anyway. Those lines aren’t confusion. They’re clarity. You just have to decide if you’re going to listen to it. Stop trying to turn potential into reality. The right person won’t make you guess where you stand. Be honest… which one have you ignored before?

Episode 7: Reassurance Is Not Intimacy

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2541501/fan_mail/new] A lot of people don’t actually want intimacy. They want reassurance. In this episode of Unbuttoned, Dorian breaks down the difference between emotional comfort and real closeness, why reassurance gets mistaken for connection, and how people stay emotionally nearby without ever stepping forward. This conversation is about presence, responsibility, and learning to stop negotiating with inconsistency. Calm clarity isn’t cold. It’s information.

Episode 6: Hurt Men vs. Healed Men: The Real Divide in Our Community.

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2541501/fan_mail/new] Today on UNBUTTONED, we’re getting brutally honest. Not about sexuality — but about behavior. Why do so many gay men come off as cold, judgmental, competitive, or straight-up mean? Not because they’re gay…but because they’re unhealed. In this episode, I break down the difference between hurt men and healed men — the ego, the armor, the insecurities, the body hierarchy, the dating games, and the emotional survival strategies that shape our entire community. If you’ve ever felt judged, dismissed, ghosted, compared, or misunderstood… or if you’ve ever wondered why gay spaces can feel both empowering and exhausting at the same time… You’re not imagining it. There is a pattern — and today, we unbutton it. This episode is for the men who have healed, the men who are healing, and the men who are finally ready to stop performing and start belonging. Let’s talk about the truth everyone feels… but nobody wants to say out loud.
