About The Authentic Gay

Bae & Mark

The Authentic Gay was originally created to bring free mental health resources and experiences to a mostly-gay audience with the goal of eliminating gay shame. While that is still our driving cause, it has since blossomed into a catch-all resource for all-around wellness (and sometimes silliness too). Regardless of who you are and how you stumbled upon our site, we’re glad you’re here.
