- I just want people to accept my differences and my preferences without thinking of me as less of a man or sick because of my sexual prefrences and hobbies.
- Charlie is a young adult who has a very busy life. He mentors young boys at his church, is a university student, and also a social media contentcreator. He likes to keep his different hobbies separate because he knows that his different roles don’t really go together. He struggles daily with role conflict, due to the complete opposing nature of his different statuses and roles.

- CHARLIE
- The parents from his youth group are very conflicted and offended by the persona and identity he has outside of the church. Charlie sexually identifies as gay, meaning he prefers sexual relationships with men. As well he sometimes likes to make makeup videos as part of his social media content.
- My sexual pretences should not define who i am and what I'm identifies as! My sex, gender and sexual preferences are not related to one another and I should not be judged for them!
- You can still be a men and like other men, or makeup, or act sensitive, and cry!
- They argue that he’s a bad example for their kids. His behaviour is seen as girly and offensive. The parents think he’s not a good example of a man for their kids because he is too soft and acts feminine. They are very essentialistic in regards to to how men and women are different and should act as such. They believe in the stereotype that being a man means you have to be strong and non sensitive and masculine. As well they don’t agree with him being gay because they support heteronormativitywhich explains their views on sexual activity being only between people of the “opposite” sex is the natural expression of sexuality.

- Charlie is very conflicted and has a hard time with who he is and who he wants to be. He became a youth mentor to be there for the little kids and help them, but his experiences great role strain because he doesn’t want to be a “bad example” for the kids. By staying away from social media and his youth mentorship for a while he practices role distancing, because he feels detached from his responsibilities and just going through the motions. but at the same time he wants to spread sexual diversity without offended the beliefs and values of his church he just wants to normalize being different and having different preferences.
- What am i going to do?Am I a bad role model?
- Charlie argues back and explains his strong beliefs in the Queer theory, which explains sex,gender and sexuality as three different concepts that are not necessarily connected. He wants people to stop associating specific genders and sexes with specific sexualities. He also decides to talk more about toxic masculinityand teach the boys in his youth group that they can be men and also be vulnerable and express themselves in more “feminine”, and that doing so is not a bad thing.
- After a few months Charlie has gained a lot of followers on social media after sharing his story with the world. His fans are very supportive of him, because his very open and vulnerable with them. He tells them a lot of details about his life and they feel like they have someone to connect to and that’s retable. That’s an example of celebrity disclosure which evokes empathy from his supporters. He uses his social influence to inspire and educate young people about the challenges that may arise with not fitting into the norms, the ways society expects us to behave in.
