A few weeks ago I received a comment on one of my most-read articles, \u201cFrom Sissy Boys to Straight-Acting Gay Men.\u201d The person shared the following:

\u201cI don\u2019t agree with the premise of this article that gay men have to learn to forgive themselves. The act of self-forgiveness is often promoted as a panacea for life\u2019s ills, in this case, self-shaming as a gay man. Self-forgiveness suggests that some wrong has been perpetrated (by me).\u201d

His message was well-intentioned, and I suggested that there is a subtlety in the understanding of what I meant with respect to \u201cforgiveness\u201d.
