[quote=Anonymous]Internalized homophobia is alive and real. I have been out for 30 years. Married to a woman for 24 years. Parent of 2 teenagers. I am out everywhere - family, work, kids school, kids activities, etc...and I still come out to someone new at least a few times/month. But it gets easier and you stop caring (as much) what people think (I mean I don't care what the mechanic thinks when I say "My wife will pick up the car today around 5pm") As far as being the 'guy in a gay couple' I guess that is us (lesbian couple) in our neighborhood. But we are loved (the outpouring of support from neighborhood families when one of our kids had a serious health crisis was astounding), we are involved in all the social activities, and are just another "typical" family/couple in our friend group that deals with kid issues, which spouse forgets to take out the trash, and figuring out what is for dinner. Therapy can be really helpful to process your feelings (with an affirming therapist.) Good luck! Enjoy your life. Being out is 1000000x better than living a lie and trying to be someone you aren't.[/quote]
