Hey Gay Boy – Welcome to a Space Where You Belong

This isn’t just another newsletter. It’s a conversation. A community. A place to unpack the things we never said out loud.

I’m James Wallis—a writer, spoken word creator, and content maker who talks about self-acceptance, confidence, and healing from the shame we were never meant to carry.

Why This Substack?

Because gay shame runs deeper than we think. It’s the voice in your head telling you to tone it down. It’s the hesitation before holding someone’s hand in public. It’s the years we spent trying to be someone more acceptable.

But we don’t have to live like that anymore.

Here, we’ll talk about unlearning shame, taking up space, and becoming the people we were always meant to be.

What You Can Expect

💡 Stories & reflections on queerness, confidence, and growth.
📖 Practical advice on healing, self-worth, and personal power.
💬 Real conversations—because this isn’t just about me, it’s about us.

Who’s This For?

If you’ve ever felt like you weren’t enough, like you had to shrink yourself to fit in, or like you’re still figuring it all out—this is for you.
