‘I am free’: Colorado grandfather comes out as gay at age 90

ARVADA, Colo. (KDVR) – While we were all staying in during the coronavirus pandemic, Kenneth Felts was coming out.

After concealing his sexuality for 90 years, the Arvada father and grandfather used his time in COVID-19 isolation to write his memoir. On its pages, he revealed for the first time that he is gay. Once he delivered the news to his daughter, he shared it with the world in a Facebook post that has since gone viral. The story has been picked up by news agencies around the globe, and Felts has appeared on the BBC, Australian television and several programs in the United States.

“Having come out when I did has been the highlight of the rest of my life, I guess. I’ve never enjoyed so much love from unknown people all over the world,” Felts told FOX31.

He continues to receive messages of support on Facebook from well-wishers all around the globe.

Felts, a Korean War veteran who was married years ago, was initially perplexed by all of the interest in his story.

At age 90, his little friend stays little. Raping time would have been between 20 and 75. If he hasn’t done any raping ‘til now, at this point what difference does it make if he’s gay.

Maybe that’s what he’ll do after the voters reject him in two days.

Dumb as a fox! All the old ladies at the home are lined up to see if they can get him to change.

He had kids. Maybe he prefers to be a catcher, but who would want to pitch a fast ball up his 90-year-old a$$.

I’m 60 and father of four. If I discover in 30 years that I’m really gay, I solemnly promise to shut the hell up and take that secret to the grave. Please do the same.

But thus far, my only problem with hetero monogamous sex is that it throws my back out if I overdo it.

What if a 90-year-old gay guy suddenly announced that he was hetero. Would they have a ticker-tape parade for him?

How do these people who "come out" after having families reconcile their new "identity" with the fact that it took natural, heterosexual actions and relationships to produce the family that they say they love? They have essentially renounced that part of their lives. Does it follow that they renounce the "love" that conceieved them?

Well, as a Christian, the concern for him relates to his soul. He’s jeopardizing his soul by his embrace of his sin. Eternal damnation isn’t worth the accolades of a few mindless idiots online applauding his newfound degeneracy and perversion.

They’d deny he could switch (it can, by their reckoning, only go one direction - from normal to perverse) and the media would ignore them as it goes against their narrative.

Plenty of people who don't announce themselves to be gay "renounce the love" that led them to conceive their children. It's unfortunate that this comes out as a news story and something political. I don't think his kids necessarily view it that way or take it as a rejection of themselves and their existence.

He’s too old to do any sin. If there is such a thing as eternal damnation, he’s probably already damned for some damned thing or other anyway, which is why he thinks the desires of his little fleshy friend trump everything. Not any further down you can go than being eternally damned. But let’s not get theological here.

Perhaps I’ve been fooled by Bollywood movie synopses.

Did he fear to come out during 8 years of the queerest President ever?
