Recently we told the stories of homosexual men who had married women. It prompted a strong response from readers who had experienced it from the other side - those whose wives and husbands had come out as homosexual.
"It feels almost homophobic to say anything about them. To me it's not brave to spend 10 or 20 years with someone only to destroy and discard them," says Emma. She found out her husband was homosexual a year ago.

If a person with SSA is married to a woman who knows about his struggles and who is supporting him in his struggles, there is no lie. Openness in marriage is to be encouraged for we are to struggle together to attain the Kingdom of God no matter what our particular cross in life.
For example, some people have an anger issue. Perhaps it is better for them not to marry rather than strike out in anger and kill their spouse as there appears to be a greater danger to a women who has a spouse with anger issues than one with open SSA issues. Look at Mrs. Petersen who was killed by her husband not too many years ago.
On the other hand, a man or a woman who has hidden his/her SSA is a liar and a thief. A liar because they are dishonest; a thief because they have stolen the love and virginity of another person to provide a cover for their iniquities so they could succeed in society without disgrace.
I had a cousin who married a lesbian. She only married him for his money and took him to the cleaners at their divorce when he was overseas fighting in a war. He was left with nothing but the shirt on his back. Fortunately, they did not have children. They did not even consumate their marriage because he was shipped overseas before they could have a proper honeymoon.
