    Just wanted to give a quick update on my "Coming Out".

    It's been a little over two months that I first came out. I've now told almost all those that I want to hear from my lips that I am Gay. About 25 people. With about 5 to go.

    Everyone has been wonderfully supportive. People have hugged, cried, we've shared jokes because I'm a natural ball breaker, and big supportive smiles.

    I've been overwhelmed with love from everyone. All those years of anguish and fear have been washed away with love and support.

    I only pray that everyone has the same "Coming Out" that I have. I'm in such a great personal place.

    Now for the next step navigating the gay scene at 51. Lord help me.

    The #itgetsbetter is so true.

    Congratulations! As for dating at our age, well, let's just say that this has not proved to be a problem...
