GAY UPLE WHO WERE 'FATHER' & 'SON' MARRY
Prosecutg, Charl Brown said Aslam msaged the boy on Grdr – a social workg app for gay, bi, trans, and queer people – at 8. Stt Takacs, a 46-year-old and father of three, penned a personal say about his experience g out as a gay man to his sons.
There wasn't much of a plan, no guibook hand, only goals that I hoped my boys would start the procs of unrstandg and acceptg their dad for whom I tly was: a gay Stt TakacsIt had been a long 15 months sce g out to my wife, an experience I unfortunately wouldn't scribe as posive, fun or somethg I ever want to repeat. Wh many emotns and strs, I accepted her requt to keep the reason for our divorce -- due to me beg gay -- a secret for at least another year.
Chigo offered the stabily I need a job, iendship and at this pot, a new relatnship that all ntributed to my healg this new gay world. Homosexualy wasn't a topic well discsed our fay. Gay iends were jt iends -- rpected but their relatnships not necsarily discsed.
MY GAY STEPDAD WAS ALL THE FATHER I NEED
Gay marriage was the news, but not discsed our hoe other than the ocsnal negative ment om a close relative. In many ways, a lovg place for them, but I me to realize that teachers spoke openly agast gay culture and textbooks labeled homosexualy as sful and evil. My kids listened and followed their prr to g out, was hard for me to hear my kids e home wh stori of teachers gradg gay marriage or gay people, to see their workbooks, rercg the bias agast beg gay.
The last thg I wanted was for my kids to be treated differently bee they had a gay dad, which I felt was a the year followg my divorce, I agreed not to tell the kids I was gay, so I had to be reful. We were reful to avoid referenc to "gay" discsns and plac, although I lived the Gayborhood of Chigo, an upsle, predomantly gay area on Chigo's North Si. He was a few years ahead of his brothers beg doctrated by his school agast homosexualy.
He was fiant at tim and generally embarrassed about his gay dad. Eventually, though, that started to four years, my olst son's iends knew he had a gay dad, and, to put teenage terms, wasn't so bad. I thk he unrstands beg gay isn't a choice anymore, and I believe that will ex-wife certaly bore the bnt of the day-to-day wh the kids.
