British Athlete, Kelly Homes has openly disclosed that she is a gay after she hid it for 34 years.
Kelly added that she got to realize she was gay at the age of 17 after she kissed a fellow female soldier, which her family and friends know since 1997.
She also stated that she hid her sexuality because she was serving in the Women’s Royal Army Corps secret which kicks against bisexuals and she will be published if she was exposed.
The athlete made this known to Sunday Mirror where she was quoted saying; “I needed to do this now, for me. It was my decision. I’m nervous about saying it. I feel like I’m going to explode with excitement. Sometimes I cry with relief. The moment this comes out, I’m essentially getting rid of that fear.”
