    Thank you for your strength,, and for making this video. I think that your situation was quite common. I went through something similar in rural Alberta in the late 60s and early 70s. I ended up married for a very long time out of a sense of loyalty, and a feeling that I couldn't abandon a wife who was not well. The most liberating thing that happened to me was coming out finally, at 59.

    When I was a child the word gay still meant happy. Homosexuality was not an option. Had I seen other people like me or positive examples of happy healthy queer people, the road to acceptance would have been a much easier path. Grateful for what I have been through in order to get to where I am today. ❤ Paul

    Thank you for your thoughts music and changing how it is part of your life. I was a professional puppeteer for over 40 years but had to give it up due to health issues in 2016. This has been very hard. It was my joy and identity from age 13 and my career. I'm still trying to find my "what's next." It is wonderful that you found yours. Best wishes!

      It's a long story...
      Fortunately I have always had interests outside of being a puppeteer and still do. Most recently, knitting. I've met fiber friends through zooms, etc., from over the USA and the world. But it is not a "next."
      A career in the arts is hard work and challenging, but I always loved performing with puppets. I joked I would die with a puppet on my hand but my body had other plans. I'm a survivor of pancreatic cancer. That's pretty good!
      I enjoyed seeing your photos of you and your friends. Fantastic, fun costumes! Smiles!

    I can so relate. I was a Baptist Pastor and missionary in Indonesia. My wife and I married and we had two great kids. I came out to her and she was very accepting. I resigned from the ministry and worked for a mining company and completed my accounting qualifications. I went through 13 years of reparative therapy including electronic shock therapy here in Australia. So abusive. It didn't work.
    My wife developed MS and I cared for her for almost 26 years before she passed in 2022. My kids are very accepting. I have 4 grandsons. But I am now free to be the gay man I always was. SO good. I'm not looking for a husband. Too old now. I wrote a paper on What Does the Bible Actually Say About Homosexuality. It was published on a large website in the USA and in the first month 7700 replied back to the publisher and 7000 (90%) agreed with what I wrote. The gay accepting church I am affiliated with now is very accepting.

      Unfortunately, he didn't have much time, so I wasn't able to record him playing after the interview. However, when I meet a guest who is musically inclined, I usually record a fresh piano arrangement that incorporates elements from their songs. That's exactly what I did for this video. I believe Jallen's songs are still available online.
      It would be nice to record the guest playing nonetheless.

    You bring to the fore a question I've always wrestled with. Why didn't I have the same struggles you did? I grew up in if anything a more suppressively right-wing environment than you did, yet never suffered the kind of repression you did. I suppose one answer is I never came out as completely as you, while never suffering as you did. Thank yyou for your honest heartfelt story. You're a beautiful man. Wish I'd known you. Wish I could have been like you.

      There's more footage to his story that will be published soon. It's the 'coming out' to his parents part. I believe he came out to them right after college. There was a meltdown, and he almost lost them. Obviously, if he hadn't come out and had let things be, none of that would have happened... at least not on that level. It would have been a matter of internal struggle, I guess. But by then, he had already moved out. Nonetheless, he was still heavily connected to the church, and that changes everything. Like he says in another video, we all live in tight bubbles.

    This was an incredible story to listen to. I’m a little confused about that piano music towards the end. So that song came from Jallen’s album? I really appreciate these stories.

    • @lgbtqarchives
      @lgbtqarchives  4 місяці тому

      Thanks a lot. Ok, so years ago when Jallen was an active musician/singer/songwriter, he produced a number of albums. I wanted to end his video with a music that was inspired by one of his melodies. So I recorded this fresh new arrangement that loosely uses a theme/melody from one of his songs called "I Would Choose You". So this exact piano piece did not come from his album, but the general idea or melody did. Not sure if I was able to answer your question.

      I'm sure guys would be interested if you told yours. Give it a try. Write it on paper first, though, so you can review it before it's read. You just might find you have more understanding with guys who have been through the gantlet of social pressures and emerged stronger, and the victor.
      I always remembered someone telling me that I had to love myself before I could expect anyone else to.
