Does anyone come out at 60 ?! By coming out I mean actually realizing you are gay, or bi, who knows? Married (32 years!) and divorced. So many signs. Met my catalyst and that was it. Professional, soon to retire, and looking forward to late in life adventures. Feel like I can finally breath, express what I am actually thinking, and laugh all the time! (Well most of the time. Things in the world are kind of a **** show right now.) I am living in Central New York - alone - where it very had to meet people and I have yet to find my community. Early in my career I lived for 15 years in Atlanta. Listening to LC makes me want to move back to Atlanta (but the traffic!). LC is a lifeline to a connection that I didn't know I needed.

I'm a bit uncomfortable putting even a sliver of my story out there. Not because I'm a lesbian, but because I'm me. I've never engaged well with social media and tend to keep my personal life private. I have vowed to accept vulnerability, eschew shame, and seek community (and, hopefully, a partner to do life with).
