I’ve been living a lie basically my whole life. I’m a 49 yo divorced male with children and I’m gay. I dated females and got married mainly to appease my ultra religious family and because back when I was younger, being gay was still taboo, especially in the South. So I lived, and continue to live, a lie. I’m deep in the closet and only a couple of really close friends know my secret. I know that if I was to come out now it would destroy my elderly parents as well as my adult children.
