Young gay experience
I finally came out as gay at 55 years old after 2 marriages with women. Telling my children was surprisingly easy.
I'm a middle-aged man who has been married twice and widowed. I'm also a father to two grown children. And I'm gay.
My sexuality was a burden I carried for so long, and hiding it became part of my core identity, weighing me down. But I finally had the courage to come out at 55. Honestly, I sometimes wish I hadn't waited so long.
Growing up in the '80s was not a safe environment for a queer kid, so I chose to mask my true self
Growing up in the '80s in Las Vegas, I was in a different, tough time. I knew as early as 12 or 13 that I was different, but in those days, I had no frame of reference for what it meant to be gay. Blatant homophobia and pressure to fit in left me thinking I was some sort of freak. I avoided getting close to anyone and buried my classified, in favor of a more "normal" experience.
I eventually met and married a wonderful woman who knew my secret, and we started a family together. When cancer stole her a few years later, I was left with two young children to raise. During that prolonged journey of grief and single parenthood, I had a few m

1. Be sincere from the get-go that you’re curious
Whether you want to hook up with someone you’re already acquainted with (usually a gym bro, according to most porn), or you’ve been involved in a charged emoji swap on Grindr, honesty is fundamental from the beginning. Many queer people are empathetic
In the summer of 1999, when he was 15, a youth I will refer to by only his first name, Jeffrey, finally admitted to himself that he was gay. This finding had been coming on for some time; he had noticed that he felt no attraction to girls and that he became aroused when showering with other boys after physical teaching class. But Jeffrey is a devout Southern Baptist, attending church several times each week, where, he says, the pastor seems to make a point of condemning homosexuality. Jeffrey knew of no homosexuals in his lofty school or in his little town in the heart of the South. (He asked that I withhold not only his last name but also any other aspects of his animation that might reveal his identity.) He prayed that his errant feelings were a phase. But as the truth gradually settled over him, he told me last summer during a smartphone conversation punctuated by nervous visits to his bedroom door to make sure no family member was listening in, he became suicidal.

Brad Pitt Shares One Sexual Experience He “Missed That Window” to Have

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button star’s intimate history became a topic of discussion during his recent appearance on the Armchair Expert podcast when host Dax Shepard began to discuss the way the two actors met.
“Sexually, you mean?” Brad, 61, jokingly interrupted during the June 23 episode before noting that he’s “never had a gay experience.”
“I kind of missed that window,” he went on, telling Dax, 50, that “if I did, it wouldn't be you.”
In fact, Brad quipped that the Parenthood alum—who is married to Kristen Bell—would only be “14th or 15th” on his list if he were to experiment with the same sex, though the comedian responded with some teasing of his own.
“I don’t long to brag, but you’re gonna demand to build up to me,” Dax replied. “I execute recommend you initiate with some starters.”
Kidding aside, Brad—who was previously married to Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie—has been dating Ines de Ramon since November 2022. The couple have stepped out togethe
