Instagram<\/a> page to share a lengthy and heartfelt message.<\/p>\n\u201cThere\u2019s been a lot of speculation surrounding my personal life as of late,\u201d he began, \u201cand I feel compelled to set the record straight before it affects those I love any further.\u201d<\/p>\n
Caleb announced: \u201cI am a proudly gay man.\u201d<\/p>\n
He shared: \u201cThis is something I\u2019ve been unpacking and reckoning with in my life for quite some time now.\u201d<\/p>\n
The 33-year-old rocker, who grew up as the son of a pastor, wrote that his period of denial and suppression of his sexuality has been \u201cdifficult to navigate.\u201d<\/p>\nThis is the beginning of Caleb Schomo\u2019s coming out message.

\u201cAnd honestly when I decided to put it down and focus on exploring why I felt this way for so long,\u201d he shared, \u201cit\u2019s been a direct path to me reconciling with my sexuality in hopes that it will eventually lead to me experiencing self love.\u201d<\/p>\n
Caleb shared that he will \u201cwhole heartedly and fully\u201d express himself on his next album.<\/p>\n
\u201cWherever it takes me I will follow and I refuse to water any part of it down, from the music, to the lyrical content, and way I portray myself,\u201d he vowed.<\/p>\n
Caleb emphasized: \u201cI will only do what makes me happy at the deepest level and what is the most honest depiction of who I am. \u2026 I am trying to finally be proud of who I am and I think this is a massive part of that journey.\u201d<\/p>\nLike many people who remain closeted or in total denial, Caleb Shomo shared that he used alcohol in a futile attempt to hide from his own feelings.

Give yourself patience. Be honest with yourself,\u201d Caleb encouraged.<\/p>\n
\u201cDo the hard work instead of burying it down as deep as you physically can thinking it will change like I did,\u201d he counseled.<\/p>\n
\u201cHolding these things in only hurt you and those around you,\u201d Caleb advised.<\/p>\n
Ultimately, he concluded: \u201cLove you all, and hopefully this is a step in the right direction to loving myself one day.\u201d<\/p>\n
Our heartfelt congratulations go out to Caleb. Being yourself is a key component to happiness. If our society weren\u2019t riddled with homophobia, transphobia, and similar cultural bigotries, more people would be able to do so sooner.<\/p>\nAs he concluded his message, Caleb Shomo urged followers to not repeat his mistake of waiting so long before living as themselves.

Fleur made her own Instagram<\/a> post, sharing an honest message about her husband\u2019s revelation.<\/p>\n\u201cI will always want to love, protect, and support Caleb,\u201d she emphasized, even while acknowledging confusing and difficult months.<\/p>\n
Some spouses sometimes feel that coming out \u2014 in any capacity, but particularly if they are gay or trans or otherwise expect the relationship to end \u2014 would be unfair to their partner.<\/p>\n
However, like parents who loathe each other but avoid divorce because they share a child, trying to live a lie ultimately does a disservice to everyone involved. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
