'I'm Free'​ - 90-year-old man comes out as Gay after decades of 'keeping this secret'

90-year-old Colorado man, Kenneth Felts recently opened up about being gay after holding onto the secret for decades.

The 90-year-old opened up about his sexuality memoir just after the coronavirus pandemic hits, People reported.

“I had been keeping this secret most of my life, and I had planned to take it to the grave,” he said during a Friday interview on the 3rd Hour of Today.

“In 1942, when I was 12, I realized I was gay,” the Navy veteran shared, adding that he never came out for fear of being ostracized. “If you came out, it really would cost you — your family, your job, all of your relationships. You would immediately be called a pervert.”

After joining the Navy, Felts fell in love with a man, named Phillip, and the pair embarked on a two-year relationship. “It was a void in my life that had suddenly been filled by another person who, apparently, had some of the same needs,” he said. “And we just melted into each other.”

2 years later, he ended the relationship after struggling to reconcile his identity with his religious beliefs.He went on to marry a woman and have a daughter with her before they got divorced. His daughter has come out to him as a lesbian.
