How come it takes till their 30s sometimes for someone to know their LGBT?
In: 0
It’s not as common as it used to be. I came out in the early 90’s, and I can’t tell you how many older gay men I met who were married with children. They were trying to do what their family wanted. They thought being gay was just something they had to deal with and if they got married and had kids, that would ‘fix’ them, they’d magically become straight. This isn’t exaggeration.
Society is a lot more forgiving (sometimes) these days. We can get married now, though I wouldn’t count out having my marriage annulled by the government if the Supreme Court has their way. If someone is coming out at age 30 today, I will assume they are from a smaller town, with religious families, and they try to hide their sexuality behind a marriage or a girlfriend/boyfriend (or they’re the B in LGBT and can hide in plain sight, and not tell anyone).
