    You’ve probably heard it — “All gay men are in open relationships.” But what if that stereotype isn’t just inaccurate, but harmful?

It’s about choice, truth, and dismantling the subtle shame around wanting something that feels secure, loving, and true to you.---What You’ll Learn in This Episode:→ Why the stereotype “all gay men are in open relationships” is rooted in bias, not fact→ The real data behind monogamy vs. non-monogamy in the gay community→ Why wanting a committed partner doesn’t make you boring or “heteronormative”→ The emotional and historical roots of these myths→ How to reclaim your relationship desires without shame→ A mindset shift that empowers you to date authentically---Timestamps:00:00 – Intro: Why this myth needs to be unpacked01:24 - All Gay Men Are in Open Relationships04:21 - Wanting Monogamy Makes You Boring, Non-Adventurous, or Heteronormative05:28 - Question for You to Answer07:16 - Non-Monogamy Isn't Just an Option, It's Evolution
