Coming Out Late Ep. #70: My Chat w/Late Blooming Lesbian, Krista, Part 1
In this Part 1 episode, Robin interviews 49-year old late bloomer, Krista. Krista was originally from Nebraska and New Mexico before her family moved to Texas where she lived until graduating from high school. Krista never really used any labels for herself regarding how she felt about boys and girls, men and women - but she did know she was never really enamored with ‘guys’, when all of her female school friends were! After a secret relationship with a girl in high school, (they even went to the high school Prom together), Krista moved out of state for college and married a man quite young. The minute she left that 3-year marriage, (and around the time of her college graduation), her very first thought turned to - you guessed it - WOMEN! But, not knowing where to find her community of gay women or how to even begin to date a woman, Krista’s attention was distracted by a very nice young guy, who she would ultimately marry.
In this episode of the “Coming Out Late” podcast, you will hear Krista talk about . . .
- Her early upbringing, and whether or not her parents and siblings were religious or not?
- Krista’s recollection of how she felt about ‘guys’ growing up..
- Krista’s ‘secret’ relationship with a girl in high school, and how was it that they even went to the Prom together!
- Krista married a guy quite young, pretty much at the start of her college career.
- What were Krista’s first thoughts after the dissolution of her first, brief marriage?
- How did Krista finally confirm her fondness for women?
