It's deeper and more philosophical than how you shop for groceries. Gay men struggle with how to make sense of the world on a conceptual level, in art and drama and so forth. What's also sublimated and repressed is that we're basically Holocaust survivors, straight up 1/3 of us died in the 80s and early 90s, Black Death level death rates, it was the apocalypse, so there's a lack of older men who we can look up to and imagine what we're going to be like when we're old. It's an unknown and that can be scary, and people deal with it in different ways.

I believe people are strong though and they have an inner courage, and inner beauty. I think most people have that. How do we tap into that, and find our own? How do we help bring that out in others?
