A Tribute to Lifetime Television's A Prayer for Bobby and 20 Years after my Appearance on The Sally Jesse Raphael Show

A tribute to Lifetime Television's A Prayer for Bobby

It's been a full year since Lifetime TV has aired "A Prayer for Bobby," and I am still receiving e-mails about life-changing movie. It was January 19, 1990 that the episode I filmed on Sally Jesse Raphael Show hit the airwaves that would forever change my life. As I explained in more detail in my explosives and controversial memoir, "Forbidden Love with a Married Man; E-Mail Diaries." On stage. I had the privilege of sitting with Bobby's mother as she poured her heart and soul into the camera, explaining the tragedy that occurred a few years prior, when her son committed suicide because of her own religious beliefs. I was extremely closeted. When that show aired, and I will never forget the words Bobby's mother said to me. "Dennis, don't ever let anyone dictate who you are or should be. Don't ever be ashamed of your sexuality. If you ever need a mother who understands call me." Wow, what empowering words. Thank you for changing my life, and the life of others.

Out Magazine & Married Gay Husbands

Out Magazine & Married Gay Husbands

Recently I had a gentleman from my support group inquire about one of the largest gay magazines. I was asked to give a brief description and share my viewpoints on OUT. I was about 18 years of age, when this Magazine first came out in 1990 or 1991. I was so elated to know that there are others out there like myself. However, I was also petrified to subscribe to OUT magazine, because I was afraid the mailman was going to find out about my closeted homosexuality. Little did I know, they wrapped the magazine in a dark envelope to conceal its contents, just like subscribing to Playboy. Goodness, that's another story in itself!

This is a general interest magazine for gays and lesbians. Each issue includes journalism on culture, people and current issues. It is written for people who appreciate a different slant on everyday life and accept diversity as a given. Individual concerns are also addressed. To order your copy click on; Out

The Other Man or Other Woman Support and Help

The Other Man or Other Woman Support and Help

In general, society looks at the other man/other woman as being the responsible party in an affair. It’s understandable that the other man/other woman become the target for the rage and anger the deceived spouse feels. Blaming the other man/other woman keeps the wives of gay husbands from having to take responsibility for the problems in the marriage the fact that it’s NOT the fault of the women who are unknowingly married to a gay husband.

How you handle the fact that there is another man or woman has a great deal to do with whether or not you end up in divorce court or, are able to save your marriage. I have a few suggestions that will help save your sanity and possibly your marriage.

• Don’t Make The Other Person More Important Than They Really Are


• See The Relationship For What It Really Is


• Don’t Internalize Your Feelings

When a person views the world through a self-critical perspective, the outcome turns out rather distorted. Don’t allow the actions of an unfaithful spouse cause you to feel shame or unworthy. Such feelings can lead to depression, self – loathing and anxiety. Whether your goal is to save your marriage or divorce your unfaithful spouse, you need to keep a level head and develop good coping strategies. Feel your pain and seek the help of others as you are NOT alone

"Damn Straight," Pick Straight or Gay, The “CHOICE”

Pick Straight or Gay, The “CHOICE”
Damn Straight by Dennis Schleicher

One of the ongoing debates among humanity continues to be whether a person is born gay or becomes gay. I have men and women writing to me on a regular basis insisting that their husbands weren’t born gay—but rather “made” gay. They try to convince me that early sexual molestation in the formative years of life changes a man’s sexuality. Or they keep insisting that gay is a “choice”—like eating ice cream. Pick vanilla or chocolate—pick straight or gay. They can’t understand how a man who functioned for years as a straight man is now a gay man. Further, they can’t understand how a man with a loving family—wife, children, in-laws, and other extensions--would be willing to give up everything after 5, 10, 15, 20, or more years for a sexual act. Or sometimes they will never make the “choice.” Could sex be that important to us all?

I know that we are born gay. It’s a tough stretch for me to believe that anyone can be “made” gay. No overbearing mother or distant father is enough to change someone’s sexuality. If that was the case, half the world would be gay—and that’s not the case. I don’t believe our husbands have any choice in being gay. If they had a choice, they would choose “straight.” They spend years trying to be straight which is why they marry us to start with. But the reality is that no more than we can make them gay, we can’t make them straight no matter what we do or how we try. It is what it is—a crazy, mixed up tragedy that creates lots of victims along the way. Gay is just not a choice—being honest about it is a choice.

Post Your Thought and Be Honest?  --Dennis Schleicher

Gay Fathers and Husbands of Ohio

If you’re a gay or bi-sexual man who has been in relationships with women – you’re not alone. Gay Fathers and Husbands understands … and maybe we can help each other.

You are not alone...we understand.

The Gay Fathers and Husbands group is an informal association of gay and bi-sexual men who may have in common current or past marriages or partnered relationships with women. Some individuals may have natural or adopted children from these relationships. Members of the Gay Fathers and Husbands group meet monthly to discuss issues and needs held in common, and to offer support to one another by sharing experiences, encouragement, and hope. Friends and supporters are normally welcome at the meetings, and guests may be invited to address special topics. The group determines the purpose and direction of meetings. Attendance will range from as few as 8 to as many as 30 or more. Meetings are casual – no dues. GFAH has been meeting in the Akron Area since 1990.

"Live your life so that your children can tell their 
children that you not only stood for something
wonderful-you acted on it."
--Dan Zadra
Gay Fathers & Husbands of Ohio

Our group attempts to:

• Provide a support and communications network for gay fathers;
• Encourage cooperative action in promoting the common interests of gay fathers and their families;
• Provide opportunities for social interaction between gay fathers, their children, and friends;
• Promote and sponsor activities that present a positive image of gay fathers and to encourage acceptance of alternative parenting.

Participants come from all over NE Ohio and Western PA. Members represent all ages, jobs, backgrounds and stages of life -- including young men with newborns to older men with grandchildren ... and some participants have no children. Some men are married or separated or divorced. GFAH is not a dating club or a religious group. Being "out" is not a requirement for participating at meetings, and all members agree to respect the privacy of individuals who attend the meetings.


"A Note from Dennis"

Wow, I stumbled across ‘Gay Fathers & Husbands of Ohio’ on the Internet, when searching on Google. I wish every state had an organization like this to represent all the positive aspects of gay parenting. My dream is that in time, every state and county will have an organization like Gay Fathers of Ohio. All it takes is for one parent to have a dream and to be consistent.
