Fat gay men

Do you have a body that the predominant culture thinks is available to comment on? Please keep up the good work

Folks, I’ve been listening since the very beginning, but held my review in my pocket until this very moment because 100 is a fancier number of reviews to have than 99! Then we talk about feeling sexy in winter wear.

Episode 239: Get Stuffed

We’re back!

The hosts are sincere in their desire to inform and entertain and do it well.

I have learned a lot and had a lots of laughs too. Thank you so much ❤️❤️.

Then we discuss gatekeeping in fat community. Despite affectionate in-group monikers for big gay men–chubs,
bears, cubs–the anti-fat stigma that persists in American culture at large
still haunts these individuals who often exist at the margins of gay
communities.

Then we discuss chasers who don’t identify as chasers.

Episode 228: The Chubby's Journey
This week the boys discuss Chrissy Metz’s new projects and US Weekly’s article on fat representation in Hollywood. In existence for over forty
years, the club has long been a refuge and ‘safe space’ for such men.

Based on ethnographic interviews
and in-depth field notes from more than 100 events at bar nights, café
klatches, restaurants, potlucks, holiday bashes, pool parties, movie nights,
and weekend retreats, the book explores the woundedness that comes from being
relegated to an inferior position in gay hierarchies, and yet celebrates how
some gay men can reposition the shame of fat stigma through carnival, camp, and
play.

Fat Gay Men: Girth, Mirth, and the Politics of Stigma
To be fat in a thin-obsessed gay culture
can be difficult. Then we talk with our live audience about body image and connecting at chub/chaser events.
