Back in the past before attitudes towards homosexuality started loosening in many countries, there were two choices for guys who knew they were mainly attracted to other men – become a ‘confirmed bachelor’ or marry a woman anyway. While the latter is now much rarer, in some circumstances it still happens and as the upcoming TLD special, ‘My Husband’s Not Gay’ shows, sometimes the women involved are well aware of their hubby’s predelictions.
The documentary follows four devout Mormon men, three of whom are married to women, but all of whom admit to being largely attracted to men rather than women.
The Salt Lake City residents are quite open about this, with one saying, “I’m attracted to my wife for sure… and I’m definitely attracted to men too”.
However another adds, “With our faith in God we believe we believe we can overcome anything.”
While many will feel there’s nothing to overcome, it’s certainly an interesting subject. The doc is due to air in the US in January.

Really looking forward to this, I can relate a lot and am in a similar situation myself though not for religious reasons, I hope the show is done properly and not just an excuse for some sensational TV.
