Part memoir, part self-help book, Frankly My Dear, I’m Gay takes readers on a light-hearted, poignant, humorous, and multi-faceted journey out of the closet, with nationally known author, blogger, podcaster, speaker, and Coming Out Coach, Rick Clemons. Embracing the trips, falls, and triumphs of learning to walk in a new set of heels, Clemons brings a fresh perspective on how to be uniquely you as a flag-waving, or quietly standing on the sidelines, member of the LGBT Community. Calling upon his own, and client’s experiences, Clemons doles out amusing yet sincere insights and advice for navigating a mutually respectful divorce, raising children as a gay parent, and tips for learning how to date, mate, and be in a healthy same-sex relationship.
I'm a man who openly came out just two years ago, after my wife died. In some ways I can relate to divorced men who came out. In many ways, I can't. My late wife knew I was gay and had for years, I chose to stay married to her. Before her death she told me to live my life and be happy. I'm doing that. I'll admit it isn't easy. But I'm happier now than I have ever been.
