What do you do, when your spouse comes out and tells you he is gay? How would you feel, how would you react? Would you be angry, hurt, confused?  How about relief?  That is exactly how Elizabeth felt when her husband announced one evening that he was gay.

Having a “feeling” that something is not right in your relationship but not knowing what can be an emotional roller coaster for all involved. 

Our feature story in June’s issue tells the story of a husband, wife and children that have come to terms with Jim’s sexual orientation.

This article is an opportunity for open dialogue, discussion and growth.  How must it feel to be Jim- Being uncertain of who you are & what you really want in life- or do you know the truth but fight the reality because of society’s conformist expectations when it comes to sexuality.

I personally am fascinated and perplexed by this topic & why some individuals feel they have the right to judge, criticize and condemn other people because of sexual orientation.

As our feature story reveals- living a lie can be the creator of hurt, pain and self doubt but also hopefully and  eventually- love and understanding.
