A recently out divorcee must explore his identity and how to not be the straight-acting man he's been his whole life. Just when he has found his footing, a flamboyant trans man jumbles up his ideas about what it means to be gay, to be masculine, to be a man.

***

Edwin realises he's gay at the ripe age of 56. Coming-out should set him free to finally explore his sexuality, but honestly?

He feels lost.

He's getting a divorce after thirty years of marriage, half of his friends turn out to be homophobes, he feels an interloper in LGBT places, and for the first time ever, he's living alone. His only remaining certainty - the one he's risked everything for - is that he's attracted to men.

To affirm his sexuality, Edwin focuses on everything masculine and seeks out gay men like him. But just when he finds his footing, a flamboyant gay man jumbles up all his ideas about what it means to be gay, to be masculine, to be a man.

If Edwin wants to find his community, he'll need to re-examine what it takes to belong.

The Wright Way by JabeRona

Ethan Wright knows what's right and what's wrong. Homosexuality is wrong to him, but then, given the background he's coming (or, more precisely, running) from, he could hardly have formed a different opinion. He doesn't allow it to affect his actions, though. He is a firefighter, and he saves lives no matter how people choose to live them. There's just that one guy that he can't quite get out of his head. The guy that circumstances keep putting in his way. The guy that makes him feel... he's not sure, how. There's not much time for him to figure that out, for his past is about to catch up with him, putting more than just his life in danger, forcing him to face uncomfortable truths and make life-changing decisions. #1 in BXB on 2022-10-01 #2 in MANXMAN on 2022-10-01 *** WARNINGS: The story contains mature themes and language. Not suitable for children. Some chapters include violent and sexual content and may be triggering for some people. Read at your own discretion. Also, the main character is pretty homophobic in the beginning of the story. Needless to say, he'll change ;) yet if you find such a start too upsetting, you might want to skip this book.

Acceptance | MxM Gay Romance | by dollygrand

After getting away from his cruel father's tyranny, Randall has to learn how to live and accept the person he was meant to be - with a little help from a local bartender... ***** An empty shell is all that's left of twenty-five-year-old Randall now. After his homophobic father found out he was gay, he had to learn to act someone else to survive through the years of abuse and humiliation. Now he has forgotten the person he once was. He refuses to remember the person he was supposed to be.

When a gay bar opens doors in his neighborhood, the fragile balance he has created with himself is in danger of being destroyed when his true self tries to break free. To make things worse, there is a new guy at his gym. A kind guy who has a nice voice and loves talking people's ears off. A guy who can see his suffering. A guy who can teach Randall to feel once again. (Warning, this novel contains verbal and physical abuse!) || Gay || BxB || MxM || LGBT || Romance ||

Their Little Femboy (MxMxM) | Completed by Origin_of_Kelpie

Leslie Roberts thought he was an average guy (aside from a few things he didn't like to think about). At twenty-one years of age, he has a girlfriend of three years, an annoying best friend, good friendships, and is already in his last year of college with a graphic arts degree. But things weren't fully as Leslie believed. Instead, there was something much worse going on in the background. Amongst the confusion, fear, anger, and betrayal, two people were there to save Leslie and give him some much needed rest, pampering, and affection. However, Leslie had forgotten something very important and that missing puzzle piece will change his life forever. ____________ Warnings: MxMxM romance Threesome 18+ Smut Kinks (Crossdressing, DDLB, BDSM) Violence + Language Mafia/Gangs Child abuse (Memories) Kidnapping Obsessive characters ____________ If you recognize this title, cover, and overall summary line, you most likely read the old version of Their Little Femboy from my previous account.

Brick by Brick: Rebel Souls MC # 5 by authorvioletbloom

Brick has been out of the closet since he was a teen. Yet, for some reason, he only ever seems to attract closeted men. When he first joined the Rebel Souls Motorcycle Club, coming out was the first thing he did. He would never stay somewhere he wasn't accepted; he'd never hide himself. What he didn't expect to find hidden within the club, was the love of his life. Bubbles is one of the club's biggest players, hopping from soul sucker to soul sucker. His sexuality has always been straight.. so he thought. That all changes when he meets Brick. Bubbles spends the year that Brick is a prospect for the club pining after him secretly. He tries drowning himself in the club girls to forget the feelings he's having, but it doesn't work. Finally admitting their feelings to himself, and then to Brick, Bubbles still isn't ready to come out. Against his better judgment Brick begins a relationship with him, hiding it from everyone in the club. Months later, Bubbles is finally ready to come out, but Brick is at his breaking point. A stray bullet has Bubbles kissing Brick in front of the entire club. He doesn't care anymore. He almost lost the love of his life, he's tired of hiding. Until he runs scared. Just days after their heated kiss in front of the entire club, Bubbles requests nomad status from their club President. Once he's granted it, he disappears for months. The only thing Brick knows is that he's alive, and he only knows because Bubbles has to check in regularly with Prez. When Bubbles finally returns, three months later, everything has changed. Is it too late for Brick and Bubbles? Did Bubbles screw it up so badly that Brick will never forgive him?

Left at the Alter by Ezra_Ann_

Adrian Hanson is a 24-year-old, gay man, who gets left at the altar on his wedding day by his fiancee, and they had been together for 5 years in total, and engaged for 2, and he thought everything between them was fine. He decides to move out of the town they'd been living, and move to another state because he can, and he works remotely from home, and he needs a fresh start from the place that he and his ex-fiancee had been living together. He takes a couple of weeks to coordinate everything - finding a home to rent until he can search in person for a home to purchase, letting his job know that he's moving, and the new address once he's moved, packing the belongings he's taking, and selling or donating the rest, and notifying everyone important to him about what he's doing. Despite knowing that he's upsetting a few select people by moving states, thankfully they don't guilt him into staying.
