I get asked the qutn, "How is like beg gay and beg a shaman? I don't perform ruals a "gay" way. Regardls of them beg gay, straight, trans, or whatever.
In the same way, you'd want a shaman's help regardls if they are gay or not.
GAY HMONG: A MULTIFACETED CLASH OF CULTUR
* gay hmong *
In this way, shaman guis jt don't re if you're gay or straight, their only purpose is to heal, to love, and to protect everyone, human and other spirs too. When I perform ruals, I don't thk about whether I'm dog this as a gay or straight man, although my gay and queer inty mak up a big portn of who I am. Now, bee I am gay and many gay and queer dividuals, unfortunately, have to go through trma, challeng, and obstacl om fay and society, this giv me a perspective that perhaps many others do not have.
We go through that journey of self-disvery, fdg yourself, self-love, etc, beg gay or queer jt don't mean behavg, actg, or lookg like the other genr. Meang, gay and queer shamans reprent all spirs as part of our journey and inty.
Fortunately for me, I haven't faced many challengg moments when to beg a "gay" shaman, at least not the same way as my personal life and relatnships.

I have the power to share wh others my gay inty and who I am, not everyone serv to know. I've e to unrstand that people who have an issue wh anyone who's gay/queer, that's an issue on them. Me beg gay isn't the issue, the issue is secure people.
Hetero-secury is an issue not for gay people to rolve, we shouldn't be shut out bee another man or woman feels secure of their own beliefs, so stead allow them to be mad. That's a healg journey for people all on their own, has nothg to do wh who we are as gay/queer Hmong Shamans are out there and we've always existed.
