In the seventy years Tim Seelig has lived, half was spent as a religious music conductor from a famous Christian family. But when Tim came out at 35, that life was over. He was unceremoniously ousted from everything and everyone he knew. His highly respected career was also over. And his second life began, as a conductor of LGBTQ choruses. This new life culminated in Tim becoming the director of the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus. And although he had lost everything, there was no regret- for the second half of his life he would live as authentically himself. Through so many losses, including the death of his beloved daughter, knowing who he is and where he finds support has seen him through. His memoir, Tale of Two Tims: Big Ol' Baptist Big Ol' Gay, tells the story of all these losses (and gains) with humor and grace.
