Amity Buxton on BlogTalkRadio
We’d like to thank Tracy Lawanda for her excellent interview of Amity Buxton on her blog Aword4U. The interview was featured on BlogtalkRadio. Amity appears approximately 10 minutes into the show. This is a Christian show, and Tracy asked a lot of great questions of Amity. Much of the discussion centers around truth in marriage.
Amity tells the story of her own marriage, and also of the history of the straight spouse network. What is interesting in this interview is that they discuss a variety of situations, such as marriages that stay together, the number of men who seek support after learning their wives are lesbians, and how others can support the straight spouse. Some of the more difficult questions concern straight women who blame themselves for their husband’s homosexuality, and that homosexuals cannot change their orientation. Learning to figure out who you are, and what you value, and finding the support of those who have gone before you in this situation is vital to healing and moving forward. This discussion is very frank, and covers many of the questions that people have about how a straight person can wind up being married to a gay person in the first place.
The Straight Spouse Network is unique in that we support all straight spouses, male, female, young, old, married, divorced. We come from all walks of life, different religions, cultures, beliefs. Yet, we have this common bond of understanding the process, experience, and unique problems of being married to a gay person who is closeted, living on the down low, and the effect on us and our families.
Our thanks to Amity and to Tracy for spreading the word about the help and support we offer to all straight spouses.
