I am a same-sex attracted man and main Mercy.

I was thinking about why she has such a huge gay monitoring, and then it struck me. You get to soar around like a fairy with a magical fairy wand sprinkling fairy dust everywhere. She appeals to the queer desire to be a fairy.

I treasure playing her so much.

Myths About Gay Men + Monogamy

There is a widespread myth that gay men don&#;t want or can&#;t have monogamous long word relationships. The truth about half of us undertake want them. And in our own research, about 70% of couples are in long term, monogamous relationships. I think on the coasts and in big cities, there&#;s this belief that somehow there&#;s something wrong with you if you want a monogamous relationship. But the truth is, they&#;re very common.

What Gay Men Should Expect in a Relationship

Some gay men place up with a lot in their relationships. Their long-term partners will aggressively flirt with other men in front of them, go home with a guy from the bar without any forewarning, sleep with ex-lovers without gaining consent from their current lover, or brag to their current boyfriends about the quality of their sex with strangers. Ouch.

Here&#;s what I find most concerning. Some gay men don&#;t feel they have a right to be upset about these behaviors. They&#;ll ask me why they feel so jealous and how can I help them let go of their insecurity. They think that the same-sex attracted community believes in sexual autonomy and it isn&#;t cool or manly to object to their partner&#;s sexual behavior.

Many gay men grew up feeling ashamed of not conforming to cultural expectations about “real boys” or “real men.” Especially during middle and high university, they may have been bullied or publicly humiliated because of their difference—made to feel like outsiders and not “one of the boys.” They may have found it easier relating to women than men, though they didn’t fully belong to the girl group, either.

Every same-sex attracted man I’ve seen in my practice over the years has had a conflicted, troubled relationship with his own masculinity, often shaping his behavior in destructive ways. Writing for Vice, Jeff Leavell captures the dynamic nicely: “Queer people, especially gay men, are known for dealing with a slew of self-doubts and anxieties in noxious ways. Gay men are liable to perceive incredibly insecure over their masculinity, a kind of internalized homophobia that leads them to idolize 'masc 4 masc', 'gaybros' and [to] shame and oppress femme men.”

Here we spot one of the most common defenses against shame: getting rid of it by offloading or projecting it onto somebody else; in this case, one
