Hi, this is Alex and Dean - Gay Men Talking, coming to you from San Francisco!

This week Alex and Dean welcome their friend and author, Dr. Kimeron Hardin, who discusses his latest book “Loving Ourselves: The Gay and Lesbian Guide to Self-Esteem.” In a fun and informative Q&A, Dr. Hardin talks about growing up gay in a conservative religious family from the Bible Belt and how that transitioned into a career in clinical and health psychology. Dr. Hardin also discusses common issues in dealing with low self-esteem and what people can do to help overcome these issues. Dean opens up about his self-esteem issues and the impact that has had on his life as a gay man in a straight world.

Alex and Dean celebrate pride as they prepare for the San Jose Pride Parade and Festival. To help kick things off they play a song from Nice Peter called “It’s Time to be Gay.” Gay marriage is still in the news as California and the gay community braces itself for a historic day as legal gay marriages are set to take place. Alex and Dean plan to be there to celebrate this historic day. And as always, Alex talks about RENT….again! In other entertainment news Alex discusses George Michael, A Chorus Line, and Design Star 3. Nice Peter closes the show with “The Bush Song.” No, it isn’t what you think, or maybe it is.
