The LIKEME® Organization

I am a 47 year old gay woman who had been through many of the same struggles as Chely. I knew I was different at a very early age, but was never able to pinpoint what that difference was. Later in life, I had relationships with both men and women, but always felt more connected with women. I am 47 years old and it took me 25 years to be “OK” with who I was. I lead a very closeted life for many years, and was ashamed of who I was. I was lucky enough to marry my wife “legally” in Malibu, CA. We are both feminine, strong, successful women who support our community. I applaud Chely on having the guts to risk her career, her livelihood, to take this courageous step and am totally on board with our support. We are so happy and proud of who we are, and “it does get better”, but It is my hope that is doesn’t take as long for the young people of today to embrace their truth and be proud of who God made them. It is so important for us to support our youth and our community!
