I don't know Jamie, perhaps. My husbands uncle was a gay man who sadly kept his sexuality a secret until shortly before he died which I found very sad, he must have thought his sexuality wouldn't be accepted by us and that hurts because he was still Uncle Tommy no matter what his sexuality, we loved him.

Yeah that is really sad, I think a lot of people would have been in similar situations to him too. I know someone in his mid 70''s who's gay and only recently came out to his friends, it was a different time back when he was younger.
