Biography (continued)
Fifties:

In August 2005 my life changed irrevocably and completely. It starts with a familiar story. My wife found out. In fact she found my clothes. The rest of the story though is less familiar and far less typical. The short version of what happened is that she challenged me and I told her everything about Trisha including my sexuality. Within minutes she held me in her arms and told me it was OK and that she still loved me. Not only that but she felt I had the right to express my TV self and my sexuality. We spent days talking, she saw my pics, and read this website. Let me make one thing clear - I've seen the phrase 'Wife approves' so many times. My wife doesn't 'approve'. But she has accepted the fact that the person she's married to now is the same person that she's always loved and that this person called Trisha goes with the package.

Right now I feel reborn. And yet I know that I'm on the start of a journey to God knows where. Trisha cannot go back into the closet - I can't put the genie back in the bottle. Its now more than two years since that day in August and our relationship is going from strength to strength. She not only supports me but has become an active supporter of others in the TV Community We've made many friends there including some close friends who mean as much to me as my friends in the 'real' world.  Not too long ago I told my closest male friend about Trisha. To say he was surprised would be an understatement of considerable magnitude - but he accepts and supports me, God love him, and I feel now that I no longer have to hide or pretend in the important parts of my daily life. I've since told other people who are close to me and had the same reaction.  It's been a long strange trip and it may well get stranger, but at last I feel I can travel hopefully. Wherever that takes me.  Some time soon, I may be on the brink of other discoveries about myself. But perhaps I should finish this bio with a message to the most important person in my world:


To my dearest Pen - I love you with every piece of my heart and every bone in my body. You are the greatest Life Companion that anyone could ever wish for. You've set me free and given me a new life and by doing so have bound me to you, body and soul, forever.....
