Emily Reese speaks at a 2016 TEDx event at the University of Nevada in Reno.

After Emily Fay Reese found out that her husband is gay, her journey was a long and difficult process toward healing. Nearly a decade later, she is thankful for her transparent life, which she uses to encourage straight spouses and those who come out to their husbands or wives. Her goal is to let others know that healing is possible. Find her blog at www.samesidessupportforstraightspouses.com
