A 95-year-old man named Roman has been married to a woman for 67 years.
They have two children, five grandchildren, and one great-grandchild. But just last year, he finally decided to come out as gay.
He lived with his secret for nine decades, even though he knew that he was gay since he was only five years old.
In an interview with famous YouTuber Wickydkewl, Roman admitted everything from how he told his family about his secret to what he looks for in a man.
He said:
“I just told them plain that I was born and I was all my life gay.
I told them the whole tragedy of my life and then they understood what happened to me. Can you imagine 90 years to be in the closet?”
Roman, who doesn’t have a type, wants to find someone he can spend his final years with. He said:
“I don’t care! I don’t look at the face, I look at the heart. Somebody to lean against. Somebody who feels the heart ticking – and nobody can do that unless you let them.”
But he also thinks that it may be too late to find someone, saying: “who needs old junk?”
Roman continued:
“I’ll be very honest about it. I really don’t need any either physical or mental connections, I don’t need [them].
But I want to – I want to go to sleep and have somebody close to me, not for any other reason but to be sure that someone cares, you know? That’s all.
For you it’s easy to find. For me, I’m too old already. Who needs an old junk?”
We hope that roman will find someone soon! It’s better late than never!
