11. I've known a couple of gay men who stayed in the closet and married
and both ended in divorce and coming out of the closet. In one case he was actually married to a beauty queen. I can't imagine what it's like to force yourself to go to bed with someone who the whole world tells you you're supposed to want with every fiber of your male being, and yet not be able to feel that yourself. Thankfully there were no kids from that marriage, but the other one I knew in a similar situation, my great-uncle's partner, had a son from his first marriage before he came out of the closet. I never met him, but thankfully he seemed like he understood and was supportive of his father. I know when Stan got sick his son let my uncle stay with him in the hospital.
