Yes Yes Yes. When I was working I met a couple who were married since they were 18 and had always been with the church as he HAD been a minister. They left the religious world and starting working at a school. I had been friends with them for about three years. I hung out with both of them and we, along with two other females, would go out every Tuesday night, in addition they also lived on my block about two houses down and across. When we got engaged we thought it would be oh so cool to ask him to be the minister at the wedding, he said he was more than happy to do it. Since they have 4 kids together the money hasn't really been rolling in so in order to take the trip to NY we compensated their tickets and the night before at the hotel.

About 3 or 4 months before our wedding he takes me out and it is just the two of us (odd as we rarely hung out as just two, was ALWAYS three). That's the day that he told me he was Gay and coming out.
Chat Icon SHOCK! A man, 4 kids, a minister....say what????

So yes, yes I think it can happen because I KNOW it can.


eta- on the flipside I also know a a gay man who had a significant other that he lived with for years. He had grown up and joined the army and has been with his share of women. He has told me he LOVES womens breasts but prefers a guy overall.
