Guest: Dr. David Malebranche

Dr. David Malebranche returns to discuss the differences between identifying as gay and identifying as MSM, or “men who have sex with men,” and what those identities mean from a research and medical perspective. Is it just a semantics? Is there more to it? We talk about when behavior and identity does not seem to align, the straight spouse is often left confused and desperate for answers. We discuss the cultural stigma associated with various terms and identities that influence whether or not someone choses to identify as gay, MSM, or nothing at all.
