What does it mean to live truthfully when society rejects your truth?
This week, we dive into identity, repression, and rebellion—through the lens of French philosopher Michel Foucault. A towering intellectual and openly gay man in an era of silence, Foucault lived a life of contradiction: defying norms, yet haunted by them; analyzing power, while enduring it.
We’ll ask:

• How does society shape our sexual identities?
• What is the cost of being “abnormal” in a world obsessed with control and categorization?
• Can philosophy liberate—or does it just describe the cage?

Whether you are familiar with Foucault or just curious about the intersection of philosophy, queerness, and resistance, this is a space for open, honest, and respectful dialogue.
