After 25 years of marriage and four children, Shaun finally decided to stop living the lie that almost took his life, and he came out and admitted to his wife and children he was gay. It was a challenging time for him, but one that has given him the freedom to be him. It has transformed his life, and now he is able to positively impact the lives of many people. Please enjoy this powerful conversation."}
