Fall isn’t just about changing leaves—it’s about transformation. For many queer men, that means embracing new identities at every stage of life. Filmmaker Ben Jackson experienced his breakthrough at 30. And Jaron Soh, founder of Voda, reminds us that, “But aside from the new adventures and possibilities open to men who come out later in life, there are still important factors to note, such as having potentially lived with internalised feelings of shame for decades.” George Takei, best known as Sulu on “Star Trek” came out as gay at 68 in 2005. Whether at 18 or 80, embracing change can be daunting—but it’s also liberating. Each chapter invites queer men to live more authentically, proving reinvention is less about becoming someone new and more about finally being yourself.
