    I just came out May 17th, after 36 years of hiding it. I am free, and maybe can offer some support and advice to others, so they can feel good like I do.

    Thanks for the welcomes!

    Congratulations on coming out! All those suppressed feelings couldn't be doing anything positive all those years. It must feel great to be free. :slight_smile:

    If you feel like it, you could always Share your story, which may be helpful for other people coming out. Being an older man, you may be able to help out some people in the LGBT Later in Life section too.

    Hi Lakota,

    Welcome and congratulations on coming out! I'm just now in the process of coming out (at age 42), so I may be sending some questions your way.

    Glad you're here.

    Again, THANKS! Zoe, anything I can do to help, even just be a friend, I am a good listener.

    And I did just share my "coming out story" Rexmond, thanks for suggesting it
