Coming Out Late

Ep. #179: Jennifer's Coming Out Late Story, Part 1


Listen Later

In this Part 1 episode, Robin spends time talking with a coming out late compadre, Jennifer. Jennifer talks about her early upbringing where she not only dealt with extraordinary life challenges but also became acutely aware of her attraction to girls. Social conditioning, compulsory heterosexuality, religion, and other factors greatly impacted Jennifer’s conscious or unconscious decision to ‘shove it,  [her attraction to womyn], down.

In this Part 1 episode, you will hear Robin and Jennifer discuss . . .  

  • the effects of familial mental illness
  • growing up LDS, (Latter Day Saints)
  • growing up with no LGBTQ+ representation, at all
  • about divorce, deceit and moving to another country at the age of 13
  • “How do I kill this [attraction for women] without it killing me!”
