When I came back, Kathy was my wife’s name, had met a number of gay people she had become friends with who lived in the similar apartment complex. And she wanted to hang out with them. We started going out to gay bars and doing a scant things with them. It had sort of introduced me to that culture.

He sighed and began: “Okay, I’m gay, I’m married, I have three kids, and I’m not getting divorced.” He’d joint some of this facts with me in our phone conversation, but I was still struck by the sense of hopelessness in his tone.

I’ve never told my family, or really any of my friends, as I think they’d all be judgmental. My siblings don’t favor my husband, but that’s a different letter in itself. So I’ve always kept it bottled up inside. He’s been married before, and div
