    Just now out to my former wife and my children, and had my 3 rd date with a great guy who I adore. I believe that after 47 years on this planet, the old saying "the truth will set you free"is true. I have accepted my truth. I willl not feel shame or guilt. I am gay, no apology is forthcoming . Lets all just accept ourselves fully, finally. The end ! life is good.

    Congrats to you! I am feeling similarly- out to more and more people- had my first dates with women in the past few weeks, and hooked up with one of them, which was awesome! I still can't believe it, just 3 months ago I absolutely would not have believed you that I would ever feel this free, happy and RELIEVED. Didn't know it was possible after living as I had been for my entire life.

    Great news, Lionel! Thanks for sharing! I totally know what you mean--I've been out about a month, and I've never felt better. Happy to hear it's happening for you, too.
