Isn't the only reason for coming out, as the age of 57, after many years of marriage and having 2 children, is that you plan to act on it?
Isn't he effectively being "brave" by saying he's looking for sex with people that aren't his wife? I mean isn't quite normal for couples approaching 60 to have pretty sexless marriages? Isn't that just nature? I'm sure there are millions of middle aged men, whose wives are not as attractive as they were 30 years ago, who would like to come out as being into 21 year old girls, but they don't, as they love their wife and children.
Basically, why does someone get a pass for being gay? I'm not saying anyone would should be trapped in a marriage and shouldn't have the right to decide it's not for them and go looking for someone else. But it does seem that if you do this and at the same time declare you are attracted to people of the same sex, then the focus tends to be on how "brave" you are and not on your decision to drastically impact your families life. Most middle aged men just say in their marriages and those that decide they want something else, don't get praised for it.
