Never Too Late

This man is proof that it is never too late.  He's been getting a lot of attention this month on social media.  His name is Kenneth Felts.  Originally from Kansas, he now lives in Colorado.  Mr Felts is 90 years old, oh and he just came out as gay!  That's right, for nearly a century, the whole world thought Kenneth Felts was heterosexual, but they were wrong. 

He has told his family and friends and on facebook was telling pretty much everyone.  His story has been shared and shared and even news stories have been written.  It isn't every day that someone comes out of the closet after 90 years, but there isn't an age limit.  It's never too late.

I have to admit that this is one of the most inspiring stories I have seen in a long time, but it doesn't stop there.  Mr Felts is participating in the 2020 Denver Pride Virtual 5K, a virtual event to benefit The Center on Colfax, an lgbtq organization in Denver, Colorado.  He set a modest $200 as his goal.  Well with all the publicity he has gotten he has already raised twice that.  I think it can go much higher!  Click HERE to go to his secure fundraising page.  To learn more about The Center, click HERE.  I really hope many of you will consider giving, even if only ten or fifteen dollars.  What a wonderful way to salute Mr Felts!

Coming out can be scary and difficult at any age.  At some point in your life some folks just give in to the lie and abandon their true self.  Look at the smile on this man though.  It suggests to me that Kenneth Felts is happy.  It suggests to me that it's never too late.
