"I have a serious mental illness that I’ve been dealing with for over 10 years. I’ve always taken my meds and I’ve always been fine. If I don’t have any issues managing my diagnosis there really is no reason to disclose this. Am I in the wrong if I’m in a relationship with someone for a few months or 1 year & disclose this?" 2. "I went on a date and I immediately knew I didn’t want to see her again which is why I decided to “practice” telling someone about my mental illness.

"I met this girl recently and when we met I instantly felt a vibe. The day we met I added her on IG and saw she has a gf. We have met up a few times because I give her private boxing lessons. I have a crush, what is your opinion of why she never mentions her gf?" 2. "I was a part of a Christian group at 21 and experienced religious trauma from conversion therapy. I left that group and came out officially at 28. I went through therapy and now at 31 I’m in a place to start dating. I met a girl and she’s great.. Should I get wifed up or keep my options open?"

We start by discussing our own experiences with PDA growing up and how our views have changed over time. Then, we focus on the challenges LGBTQ+ couples face when showing affection in public.
