Where I fell on the sexuality spectrum would take me the better part of two years to figure out. A part of myself wasn't living. And by not letting that part live, I was slowly dying.
There's a price of admission for coming out as gay later in life. Over the course of several months, I paid the price daily. It was like I was watching a movie about myself but unable to control what was unfolding. Everything fell apart.
I did my best to slowly confide in my husband. But I kept many of my feelings inside to avoid hurting him. He tried to be supportive, but he also needed answers.
He felt unsettled and scared about the uncertainty of our future. He asked several times if I was a lesbian. It was a question that felt impossible to answer because I knew what that answer would mean.
I confided in my sister first. I wasn't brave enough to actually say the words -- the label of being gay or a lesbian was too much for my soul to bear at the time -- so I sent her a text message, "I am not straight."
She responded perfectly, asking if she could buy a Pride flag and offered to tell my parents.
Later that day, I got two of the most relieving texts from my parents that I've ever received.
That's what I'm striving to do now: shape a new life that includes my now ex-husband and my kids. Our family structure just looks a little different than it used to.

creepy post is creepy.
I stopped listening to in PR 15 years ago because every single day they had at least one story about women’s rights, one story about gay rights, and one story about racism. It got to the point of ridiculousness and it’s still there
I bet a lot of guys use that excuse when they want to get out of a relationship.
Buzz off, bitch. Don't pollute that man's kids' minds with your perversions, and quit bothering him.
Because afterwards we would have ISIS to deal with. Seems we spend all of our time hoping someone else will do what needs doing.
I see no difference in her “coming out” and having an affair with another man. In either case, she would have felt “unfulfilled - something was missing” in her life. Indeed, if the husband felt that he needed to have an affair with his beautiful younger secretary, would it be wrong, or would he simply be doing what he needed to do in order to be fulfilled? Why isn’t extra-marital sex cool like coming out?
I’M with you on that note.....tired of hearing people speaking about their mental illness under the banner of gay-hood!
These happy-smiley confessional tales of how good it has been for people to indulge their deviant sexual urges are always a swamp of lies. The kids are the ones who will be the most damaged by this and the fact of the matter is that mom does not care. Her sexual needs are all that matters.
It was probably in the nineties when a 13 or 14 year old girl in front of me at a check stand turned to a same-age friend in line and said “I really need to get laid. “ The cashier about dropped something.
Mental illness.
While there is definitely too much of it all year long, I think they lay it on extra thick during "Pride Month" (which is beginning to look like Pride Year).
It must be a slow news day, when the mainstream media chooses to make this a news story. The biggest news I could find was about a volcano blowing in Indonesia, for the first time since 1600. The media seems compelled to write at least one “gay interest” story every week, thinking the rest of us will forget that sexual deviants exist. I have heard that non-heterosexuals are only about 3 percent of the population, but both the media and Hollywood want you to believe that there are many more.
We live in a parallel universe. These people are mentally ill.
HAVE THESE SODOMITES ANY SHAME AT ALL? DID ANYBODY NEED TO KNOW THAT THEY’RE SICKOS?
So, you see kids, if I had just been "true to myself" from the beginning, I never would have married your dad and you never would have been born. So, what say we all celebrate being me!!
.....”I see no difference in her “coming out” and having an affair with another man.”.....
You need a vision test perhaps.
In nearly 70 years of observation; homosexuality has never shown itself to be anything other than a mental illness.
Gays always leave a trail of pain for others while they flaunt their stories.
