Ep. #209: Holy Shit! I'm Gay! Part 1 (replay)
How does one “follow the bread crumbs” to discover and/or confirm if they are gay or not? Great question! Married to a man for nearly 30-years, Robin had her “Aha!” moment literally on her 54th birthday. (No. That’s not a typo. She came out to herself at 54-years of age!) Robin takes you on her journey from those first vague and sporadic inner stirrings she felt about women to finally figuring out “what was wrong with her”. Robin shares with us how she cracked-her-case that had been plaguing her and brewing within her for decades - yet seemingly laid dormant throughout her lifetime.
In this episode, you will learn about…
- What you can expect from this and future episodes of the Coming Out Late Podcast
- Robins’ coming-out story and how she eventually came out to herself
- The events and clues that led-up to Robins’ “Aha!” moment
- Compulsory-heteronormativity and internalized homophobia
- How did Robin figure out she’s gay? (Cliffhanger Clue: My Secret Research Project, explained in Episode #210 of the Coming Out Late Podcast.)
