Mormon father, 40, opens up about coming out to his wife after years of struggling with being gay

A father who was raised in the Mormon church and taught that being gay was ‘worse than death itself’ has opened up about coming out to his wife after years of struggling with his sexuality. 

Steve Stoddard, 40, and his ex, Jessica Frew, 38, from Boise, Idaho, shared their story in a heartwarming interview that aired on Good Morning America Tuesday in honor of Price Month. 

The former couple, who share a daughter, Penny, were about two years into their marriage when he told her that he was gay. 

‘I didn’t want to be gay and it took me a long time to admit to myself and to her that, yes, I’m gay,’ he explained of the moment he started embracing his sexuality.
