NEW TLC SPECIAL "MY HUSBAND'S NOT GAY" EXPLORES UNCONVENTIONAL MORMON MARRIAGES
In Salt Lake City, UT, there are some Mormons who live their lives... a little differently. There are some men who are happily married and attracted to their wives, but they are also attracted to other men. They refer to it as Same Sex Attraction... not gay, SSA.
In the new TLC special MY HUSBAND'S NOT GAY - airing January 11 at 10/9c - these couples share the challenges they face every day and explain why they have decided to live the way they do, and explore how these wives endure this unusual facet in their relationships as they strive to make their marriages work.
As these couples - all friends - navigate their unconventional relationships, their single friend is ultimately looking for a wife but is also attracted to men. And when he goes on a blind date with an unsuspecting woman, he must decide whether or not to reveal his big secret.
