I am lying to my wife about being gay. We met in high school. At that point, I raised the possibility to her that I was “bi” (definitely 100% gay though). She was absolutely disgusted at that possibility, and i never talked to her about it again. My mom told me in 5th grade she would disown me if I were gay. I talked to her on the phone today, 20+ years later, about a close friend who came out, and she said “I don’t mind any of that. I just want people to live their happiest lives”. I cried, watching my kids play at a park. I thought about the life I’m leading, and the life I should be leading. Don’t we all deserve better?
