I’ve seen terrible discourse over this and this is why I choose to reblog this post without any of these comments, because this story definitely is positive as it shows some good news. I’m glad for this guy. If anyone actually cared to look for his story (I did), they would have known that he was married and had a children back in the days but it didn’t last long, they divorced in the 80s. So he didn’t ruin the life of his now ex-wife in the process. This man lived his whole life closeted but he had one true love, Philip, though he broke up with him because of fear, sadly he never found him after that. The regret of his life, he just didn’t tell his family and friends about it and about his sexual orientation. Imagine how hard that must have been. During his youth homosexuality was considered a felony, he could go to jail for that, his church would also discourage anyone to be gay, so of course he was scared. 😔

Anyway he finally came out this year, during the Covid quarantine, and you know what element of this story is super cute as well ? Before coming out to his friends and family in a Facebook post, he chose to came out first to his 48 years old daughter who is … a lesbian ! She’s married and has two children with her wife ! We love a gay dad and his lesbian daughter ! 🌈
