Life After Coming Out at 60: Matt Starts Over (Part 2) – At 60, Matt’s life took a dramatic turn when he was outed, abruptly ending a 35-year marriage. In Part 2 of his story, Matt opens up about starting over as an openly gay man in Dallas – from finding love and community to rebuilding family relationships. This heartfelt conversation explores the challenges of dating later in life, learning self-acceptance, and the power of an affirming LGBTQ community.
In this episode, you’ll hear about:
- Embracing your true identity after decades of secrecy
- Building a support network and community from scratch in a new city
- Navigating first dates, new friendships, and unexpected feelings of guilt at 60
- How chosen family and therapy helped Matt heal and find joy again
Why it matters: Not everyone gets to choose how – or when – they come out. Matt’s journey shows that it’s never too late to live authentically and find the community that will lift you up.
