Middle Men

A podcast and community for men who don't fit neatly into society's straight or gay boxes.

Gay, but not gay enough?

45.8% of gay/queer Middle Men respondents said they don’t really fit within the mainstream gay scene. 41.7% said they’re isolated from gay social life.

My new article explores why—and the cost of not belonging.

Ever feel too gay to be straight, but too straight to be gay?

Or are you out as gay or bi but don't fit in the usual spaces?

There's a discreet newsletter for that: 🔗 https://t.co/wAg4JPDXon

Welcome to Middle Men.

@JF5994560989120 Is it though? You seem awfully confident for being 100% wrong

[Middle Men @MiddleMenWCFC]

"Sexuality runs on a spectrum" isn't a slogan to me. I've lived it.

Publicly straight till 25, then gay for 15 years, then landing in the middle with no label living my true self in my 40s.

After moving to Colorado at the age of 42, and rediscovering an attraction to women, I found that life in middle of straight in gay had real challenges.

This clip is from Episode 1. Watch it here:

The research points to one thing: men living in the middle carry a heavier mental load...because humans aren't built to carry something this complex alone in silence.

At some point someone's going to make you feel like you have to pick a side. Straight or Gay.

I can relate. But it turns out you don't have to — especially once you find people who get it.

Episode 3 drops 2pm MT today.

After living an out gay life for 15 years, going back into the closet as bi was helpful on some levels, but also had its challenges.

What's it like to come out of the closet at 24, then go back in 15 years later? Then rediscover an attraction to women in your 40s and re-evaluate your sexual preference?

I built the Middle Men Community for guys like us — private on purpose.

No real name required or pressure to be anything but your true self. Just other guys who get it.

Those in the middle of "straight" and "gay" are reluctant to come out bc there's nowhere for them to come out to: no community, mainstream representation, or culture. So they often keep quiet and isolate. Ep.2 out now: https://t.co/VfVSQHvbeN

[Middle Men @MiddleMenWCFC]

What does questioning actually look like? Web searches. Podcasts. Books. Therapy.

But almost everything I found reduced it all to sex. I wanted depth: belonging, purpose, an authentic life.

I wasn't alone.

[Middle Men @MiddleMenWCFC]

1 in 16 men in the U.S. report having had sex with another man. Only about half identify as gay or bi. Millions of men, one life outside and another inside.

[Middle Men @MiddleMenWCFC]

If you've ever typed "am I bi" into a search bar at 1am, or felt like you don't fit into the usual straight or gay spaces, then Episode 2 is for you: https://t.co/t3Z0vK9tDS

[Middle Men @MiddleMenWCFC]

1 in 16 men have had sex with another man. Only about half claim a gay/bi label. 4.9% of men report attraction to men, but only 3.4% claim a gay/bi label.

I searched for content endlessly for guys like me, but couldn't find much save for sex-focused podcasts. I was looking for community based on shared values, interests, & experiences. So I built it myself. Ep.1 is live now: https://t.co/mgGdRNH8Tx

[Middle Men @MiddleMenWCFC]

Just when I thought I had myself figured out, everything shifted again. I didn't hide the complexity out of shame — I just didn't have words for it. And I didn't want it to be the basis of my friendships. Ep. 1 is live now https://t.co/VfVSQHvbeN

[Middle Men @MiddleMenWCFC]

After 15 years living a gay life I realized I changed myself to fit in w/ the crowd, while losing my sense of self. Then a bi experience and midlife awakening re-aligned me with my true self. Ep. 1 of Middle Men is live: https://t.co/VfVSQHvbeN
