@ tele1 I was unable to listen to the podcast. However for me this is something I've struggled with. I always had something in the help of my mind, every period I looked at a guy. Being married for 20 years this just got pushed aside and burried with all my other crap, specifically my CSA.

Telling my wife of the CSA after keeping it to myself for 27 felt fancy the biggest weight had been lifted off my shoulders. However through therapy I finally admitted to myself that I was bisexual.

The day I finally said (I'm bisexual aloud) to myself in front of the mirror was the first time I can say I felt like myself. The first moment I felt whole, like it was the real me standing there, not parts of me or just the bits I wanted to show.

Since telling my wife 6 months ago, I have explored a not many times with guys and my biggest fear other than loosing my wife was getting triggered. But I didn't and I am so proud that I am now making new memories on my terms.

It's still a long hard thoroughfare, but making new memories to rid the horrors of my past has been the most enlightened I've ever felt.

So I feel your struggle

Episode Notes

While activists are demonstrating, filing lawsuits, and pushing for anti-discrimination laws, 16-year-old Eric is on a ferry to Fire Island, a legendary gay refuge off Long Island, with his neighbor Rev. Mullen—a trip that would reveal him to a vivid slice of mid-1970s gay animation, ready or not.
