Coming Out at 57: Mike Nash Whitmore | CHAPS OUT
In this episode of Chaps Out, host Grant Philpott speaks with Mike Nash Whitmore about coming out later in life, navigating faith, family expectations, and the long journey toward living authentically. Mike grew up in Manchester, spent most of his career as a computer programmer, and for many years struggled to reconcile his sexuality with his involvement in the evangelical church. In this honest and reflective conversation, he shares the moment he first realised he might be gay while at university, the quiet decades that followed, and how the internet eventually helped him connect with other gay men and build a supportive community.
Mike also talks about meeting his husband Keith during the COVID lockdown, their Quaker wedding in 2022, and why he believes coming out doesn’t have to be a dramatic public moment. It can simply be about finding someone who understands you. A thoughtful and reassuring conversation for anyone navigating their own coming out journey, wherever they may be.
