Le basketteur australien Isaac Humphries fait son coming out

JOCK : Isaac Humphries, basketteur professionnel australien et ancien joueur de la NBA, vient d’annoncer son homosexualité. Il est aujourd’hui le seul joueur ouvertement gay membre d’une ligue masculine de basket-ball de haut niveau.

Isaac Humphries a 24 ans. Ce grand joueur de basketball (il mesure 2m11) a publié mardi 15 novembre 2022 une vidéo sur les réseaux sociaux dans laquelle il fait son coming out à de ses coéquipiers. Il a également écrit un éditorial émouvant sur CNN dans lequel il explique pourquoi il était temps pour lui de sortir du placard.

Quelques mois plus tôt, le sportif s’était dit que lorsqu’il rejoindrait une nouvelle équipe, il ferait son coming-out publique. Engagé par l’équipe de Melbourne United pour la saison 2022-23, il a courageusement tenu parole… et plus encore.

Dans la vidéo partagée sur les réseaux sociaux qui est devenue instantanément virale, le pivot titulaire a parlé à son équipe de ses luttes passées. Il a aussi offert un message d’espoir aux athlètes qui sont encore dans le placard. » | Jock | mercredi 16 novembre 2022

What Happened When Her Entire Family Came Out

Over five years, each person in Jessi Hempel’s family came out in some way, in the process transforming their family dynamics and journeys of acceptance. In 2020, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Hempel began interviewing her mother, father, and her two siblings in an attempt to “stitch together” their stories.

Coming out is a most liberating experience. It is difficult to explain to a straight person the feelings one experiences. It is also often difficult to explain to a straight person why it is so important to come out. Many straight people, perhaps most of them, just don’t get it. They have no understanding of what it does to one to live a life that isn’t authentic. Ignorance about being gay abounds. So many straight people think that being gay is about sex. It is not; sex, at least as far as I am concerned, is the very least of it. I don’t even like the term homosexual; rather, I prefer the term, which I made up, homo-emotional. Homosexual has got the S-word written into it; homo-emotional, by contrast, means that one gets one’s emotional support from a member of the same sex. It is perfectly possible to be ‘homosexual’ and not engage in sex at all! Go figure that one out!

It takes a long time to come to terms with one’s sexuality; indeed, some people never do. But even when one does, it is a long, winding and painful road to travel. But once one is out of the closet, there’s no going back. Only real men can come out. Coming out is not a sign of weakness; rather, it is a sign of strength and, often, of masculinity. Weak men could never come out: they wouldn’t have the courage to do so.

All I know is this: Coming out doesn’t solve all of one’s problems; but I would never ever wish to return to the closet. It would be unthinkable. – © Mark Alexander

For your information, this blog, as far as I am aware, has NEVER had even one visitor from Egypt! I get visitors from ALL OVER THE WORLD, but never from Egypt. That repressive government doesn't even allow its citizens to access gay-friendly blogs; and let's get this straight: This website is nothing but a gay-friendly blog. It is NOT a gay blog as such.

Further, I do frequently get lots of visitors from Morocco, and some from Algeria, Tunisia and Libya. I even get visitors from from Saudi Arabia – daily! Kudos Saudi Arabia! But never from Egypt! That tells its own story. – © Mark Alexander

Gay Activist Comes Out to Parents Before the Local News Does It for Him

Aug 31, 2022 In 2008, Kris Banks was about to be a very public figure in Houston’s LGBTQIA+ political scene. There was just one problem: he wasn’t out to his family. After an injury forced Kris to recuperate at his parents’ house, he knew time was running out to come out before they would find out in the media. So come out, he did, but it did not go well. While not outright rejected, an icy relationship with his parents ensued. Fortunately, with time, their relationship thawed and they grew close once more, allowing Kris to finally break down the barrier between his political activism and his home life.

‘When My Wife Fawned over Richard Gere, I Was Secretly Thinking, Phwoar!’: The People Who Come Out in Later Life

THE GUARDIAN: Olympic athlete Kelly Holmes spoke openly about her sexuality last month for the first time at the age of 52. But she is not alone. We meet five people who embraced their true selves in their fifties and beyond

There is no right age or time to come out as lesbian, gay, bisexual or trans. These days, it is a rite of passage associated with the young; over generations, the average age for coming out has fallen. For some, though, it takes a little longer: last month, after 34 years in the public eye, the Olympic athlete Dame Kelly Holmes came out at the age of 52, for the first time speaking openly about her sexuality. She is by no means the only one. For some, it is a self-realisation that comes out of the blue; others may have spent a lifetime grappling with prejudice, with memories of a time when homosexuality was still criminalised, or a culture that once encouraged silence. Here, five LGBTQ+ people who came out later in life share their stories, proving that there is always time to embrace and explore identity or your sexuality.

Norman Goodman, 72, Manchester

When I was very young, I thought I was gay. It’s why, in the 1950s, I found school rather uncomfortable. Being Jewish meant being gay was never a possibility in my mind, even if our family wasn’t particularly orthodox or religious. With nowhere to turn, I became confused about my gender and sexuality. I was taken to doctors, psychiatrists and psychologists. I was admitted into a psychiatric unit and given a course of electroconvulsive therapy. Later, I had aversion therapy. … » | Michael Segalov | Thursday, July 14, 2022

Coming Out Story 30-year-old Man, Married with Kids | Reupload

Jan 12, 2020 Hello! My name is Nathan and this is the story of why it took me 31yrs, a 9 year marriage to a women, and 2 children, before coming out. This is how I came to terms with my sexuality, figured out what was holding me back, and how I gained the strength and courage to finally set myself free..

Nathan’s is a most heartfelt coming out story. One can feel his pain just by listening to the story. One can also sense Nathan’s honesty and sincerity.

Coming out when one is already married and especially when one is already a father must be extremely difficult for all concerned. Never having been married myself, I can only imagine how difficult it must be for the whole family. Further, one can only imagine the dilemma faced by the person who is coming out. Naturally, I wish Nathan well. – © Mark Alexander
