Gay Exploration and Experiences

Living as a gay man or couple can present with its own set of fears, challenges, and dynamics. Society has come a long way in the past decades to welcoming gay men and couples into nearly every walk of life.

Still, some men and couples continue to struggle with disruptive and, sometimes, crippling thoughts, feelings, internal and external stigmas, and emotional battles over their sexuality. Acceptance for who you are is a very base and critical right for every person… for you.

“I’m okay.”

Ideally, your family would be supportive of everything about you… your intelligence, your career, your friends, etc. – including your life lived as a gay man.

Life can be very painful and lonely with the hurt that comes from encountering resistance or direct opposition from family members or friends who disapprove of your truth as a gay man or couple.

It isn’t uncommon for some men to put up the strong front of “I’m okay” while secretly experiencing the grief and loss of loved ones who reject them… reject who you are.

Coming out as gay…

So, here’s the thing… coming out as gay at any age is a pretty big transition… whether in your teen years or, maybe, as an adult with children from a long-term heterosexual marriage.

To be sure, if you are to live your truth unhindered by secrets, fears, hurt, or even anger, the revelation of your sexuality will flow into all areas of your life like water finds its way through… well, everything!

It can be terrorizing… and liberating. One thing you can know for sure – you don’t have to be alone in the change!

Life as a couple…

…any couple… is, well, choose your adjective! Each couple survives or falters based on a multitude of particular criteria and dynamics. Life as a gay couple is no different.

As much as society has changed and become more accepting, gay couples and marriage can be difficult waters to navigate, and sometimes you might want to give up. Don’t!!!

At least not until you give it all you have with the one you love. Communication and open dialogue can renew or create a new healthier perspective and possibility. Dare yourselves to change and have your “happier ever after!”

You are a proud gay man and couple with every right to be at peace and content with your truths, choices, and lives. If you’re struggling at any turn with that… be good to yourself… begin your journey to finding all that you desire to be fulfilled and happy!
