*Please be advised This podcast contains swearing and graphic language. Conversations during the podcast include topics such as substance use, sex, sexuality, suicide, school shootings, police violence and sexual assault.* Substance use and the queer community. They have a long history of being linked together; from gay bars, circuit parties, the club kids, pnp, etc, so why is it that the community sweeps conversations around substance use under the proverbial rug?    In this Pride Special we will discuss some of the realities queer guys who consume may face as a result of this avoidance strategy, like not being able to find resources because of anti-drug policies and attitudes in queer spaces, both virtual and online and what guys into guys who consume have had to do to help keep themselves and each other safe in the wake of being invisible, shunned and judged by our health system and community organizations.
