I have a special connection to people who find themselves in mixed-orientation marriages. I myself came out of the closet later in life, after a 23-year marriage to a wonderful woman and a long career as an Evangelical worship pastor. https://t.co/6KnxQ8M1QI

I’m married to an amazing man named Alejandro. We met during the pandemic (on FB, of all places!), and we've been together since July 2020. We married in November 2022 and filed for his green card, then he lived in Puerto Vallarta while we waited the 2-1/2 years for it to arrive.
