and the headline is this:
Grandfather Comes Out Age 95
On a personal level, here's how I feel.
I feel that these types
of situations, you know,
are just very disastrous
all the way around.
But most importantly, once again,
it shows that the whole issue
of straight wives matter
is really not mattering very much here,
because there was only
one little mention about his wife,
and this is a woman who gave
67 years of her life to a man
that she loved
who could never gain love
back that she was expecting
because he's a gay man.
And once again, he's being applauded,
as, you know, gay men are, when
they come out when they're married
for, you know, being
heroes and being brave.
And that's not exactly how I feel.
And I've been really clear about this,
about who are the heroes in this,
I don't think one gay man is more
pressured than another gay man
I think the true heroes
are those gay men
who never got married, and who never
brought anybody down with them.
Women go into these marriages really
looking for a happily-ever-after future.
And I just got an update from...
my adopted nephew,
and he just sent me an article,
saying "Can you imagine
90 years in the closet,"
you know, the article
I was talking about,
and here's a picture
of the wife, you know,
in this article, which wasn't
in the other one,
It says Roman's wife Ruth
had known he was gay
since the birth of their second child.
I was trying to see if...
if there was anything here,
a mention of his wife...
I do get to see her picture
and find out that she's known
this for all these years.
So...
... I don't know, these are very complex,
complicated situations and...
