A discussion about what each person would be comfortable with is essential. If you’re not on the same page, instead of immediately jumping to judgment or rejection, ask why. It’s important for both you to understand each other. https://t.co/wp3VvxUBQY

As LGBTQ people we use the word pride a lot. But perhaps we don’t spend enough time understanding the opposite of pride: shame.

So how do we heal from shame? Pride marches can help, but there’s a lot more we can do.

When you fight with your partner it can feel like he or she is the enemy. Couples can get momentarily trapped in a belief that the person they love is intent on doing them harm. But I understand that’s how it feels when you are in a cycle of fighting. https://t.co/WOWjGKIiyi

If you’re having trouble understanding your partner’s perspective, it’s also helpful to ask for more information, like “Can you tell me more about…” in a way that’s inviting, instead of “I don’t understand what you mean.” https://t.co/Ak6t2y36F8

Yes, we can grieve the loss of loved ones but we can also grieve what happened to us as kids or the loss of a deeply held personal dream. https://t.co/dJDcKWMEnV

"My husband and I are thinking about opening up our relationship. We also know that if we get the details we’ll be jealous and angry. In your experience does this strategy work for gay couples?" https://t.co/a3lxXumSwJ
