I was married with 2 kids when I realized I'm gay
CNN ^ | 6/10/19 | Melisa Raney

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.

Mom and Dad are just gushing with unconditional acceptance. Ex-hubbie is fine with doing the family trip to Disney (gay days?). The kids are cool with Mom marrying another woman. And Pete Buttigieg is a cultural icon for the whole bunch. I'm trying to think of one single reason it wouldn't be better for ISIS to invade and destroy all these people ASAP.

Tired of all the homo people and their stories, and focus.

Ya’ know, according to the media and Hollywood, 98% of society is gay and the other 2% is in denial....

I was in a Starbucks:

A young girl was telling all about her sexual exploits in a void loud enough for it to have been deliberate.

Even as a perv, I found it extremely offensive, not enchanting.

In that moment, I really felt like I understood the Taliban, and I’m alllll for bikinis, skimpty dresses, etc.

Sometimes it’s just toooo much. Some things SHOULD bother you.

Leggings? I love them.

But some chicks deliberately tie up sweaters in rubber bands, or whatever, the better to MAKE SURE guys check out their as$es.

Problem is, they’re the ones who pretend to mind if you do.

Some things are NOT okay.

If we didn’t have lesbians there wouldn’t be any girl-on-girl porn.

“Our family structure just looks a little different than it used to.”

Oh, so no problem. Her kids will relish pulling the plug on her one day.

As stated....”A part of myself wasn’t living. And by not letting that part live, I was slowly dying.”....

Utterly mentally ill nonsense!

60 years ago this would have meant something totally different.

See BS Sunday morning is all about fag stuff now. Yesterday their main story was about some 1965 BS protest. That’s it, every Sunday it’s gay this, pride that, fag central.
What happened to decent television? Now it’s “agenda TV”, and it’s only getting worse.
Since when does less that 1% of the population require a majority of the topics of entertainment?

Why is this fundamentally different than "I am a man who was married with 5 kids when I realized I was in love with my neighbors wife"?

The point is, you have responsibilities beatch. We don't care if you are a werewolf at heart, pick up the frickken kids after soccer practice and shut your yap.

The children of this country are victims of mental abuse. God will not be mocked.

Matthew 18:6-7, 10
6“But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea. 7 Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to sin! Such things must come, but woe to the man through whom they come! 10 “See that you do not look down on one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven.”
