Coming Out Later in Life
About Today’s Show
Not all of us had the luxury of being able to come out at a young age and enjoyed the benefits of long fought for rights. There are many men around the world who still have to live in the closet due to fear of safety and many other reasons.
Today Calan Breckon hosts an open discussion with 3 amazing men who all came out later in life. Each one of them has a unique experience to offer through their own coming-out story. You can come out at 40, 50, 60, at any age really, and still have an amazing and fulfilling life living authentically true to who you are.
Thank you, Ron, DJ and Phil for sharing your stories of finding light at the end of the tunnel. If you think it’s too late for you, think again! It’s never too late <3
