Ian,
Thanx soo much for your vulnerability,openess,honesty and transparency in sharing this part of your life and story.
I separated from my wife of 34 yrs 4 years ago and she used my ” GAYNESS” as the reason why we split up but! there was a lot of other reasons still, she told soo many people i was gay that i didn’t want to know to make her look good i guess but! in lots of ways she did me a favour as it opened doors for me to admit and share about me being gay.
I told my three sons individually and they said “so? we love you Dad it isn’t going to change anything”! which removed a huge burden from my shoulders.
I am surrounded by a lot of people that have known me for many years (family, friends,work colleagues) so, when i told them my sexual orientation wasn’t even in the equation. A lot of them respected me for having the guts to come out and tell them (including my parents) and they respected me i consider myself very blessed indeed and i thank God for that.
It is an amazing thing to be true to yourself as you are the one you live with no-one else. I am so glad that i am Gay i don’t apologise for it, i don’t defend it, i don’t have to explain myself to anyone.
I am a gay man and proud of it. I love being gay its exciting to say that and celebrate the fact.
Ian you are so right God says “Come as you are and i will love and cherish you,you are my beloved child, the apple of my eye, my prized possession, my chosen son/daughter”.
How awesome is that.
I thank God for the awesome life ahead for me and i go forward with confidence and assurance that He knows what He is doing.
Cheers
Freeme
