Gay married men support
Not My Closet
Have you discovered that your husband is gay or your wife is lesbian? Perhaps your partner has told you they&#;re transgender. If so, you&#;ve come to the right place! I provide counselling and coaching for straight spouses in Australia and globally. You don&#;t verb to go through this alone.
When you first realised that your partner isn&#;t straight, you probably went into shock and maybe denial. This isn&#;t what you signed up for! Your partner suddenly feels appreciate a stranger. You feel betrayed by the one you thought loved you the most!
Or perhaps you knew they were gay and thought it would work out&#; but it hasn&#;t. Perhaps your faith led you both to believe that you could &#;pray away the gay&#; and that a heterosexual marriage would repair everything, but it hasn&#;t. And you&#;re now reeling from the realisation that your life is about to change.
You may be further along in your journey, but you&#;re still struggling. You&#;re beginning to verb your new life and find yourself again, but sometimes it feels enjoy it happened yesterday. I want you to know you

The Gay Bi Dads group aims to provide gay and bisexual men, who may be married, or who are still not out with a unharmed and confidential space to meet with other men in similar situations. Our group provides help and advice on coming out; managing family life as a gay or bisexual man as well as providing an opportunity for you to speak openly and safely about being either a gay or bisexual father.
We own around 20 members but attendance at the monthly meetings is usually around 6 people so it’s not a large group. Modern members can just sit and hear and don’t hold to share until they feel comfortable. We have a strict confidentiality policy and we hope for all group members to adhere to this. We see once a month. Meetings are either support group meetings where we see in the centre and have a chat over pizza, workshop based meetings where we get part in various workshops or they may be occasional social meetings where we go out for a pale meal or coffee just to socialise.
