Joe Fryer Partner

Joe has been in a loving relationship with his partner Peter for more than a decade now.

Recently, Joe’s dad was searching for a new church. He would only consider congregations that embrace the LGBTQ community. As a Christian, Joe, that meant the world to him.

Even 22 years after he first came out, he was still telling people. It happens, for example, when someone sees the ring on his left hand and makes a comment about his “wife.” Most of the time, Joe politely corrects them and tells them he has a partner. On occasion, he just chooses to let it go.

Before he came out, Joe’s mother wasn’t the very first to find out. During the fall quarter of his sophomore year at Northwestern University, Joe started to become friends with a group of students, mostly theatre majors, who were already out and proud. As he assimilated into the group, he didn’t really have to come out or say the words, “I’m gay.” It was just sort of assumed. And that’s what got the ball rolling, paving the way for him to share his truth with his family.

Fortunately, Joe has rarely experienced a negative reaction in his lifetime. At least one that he has witnessed. And for that, he is so grateful.

Recently, Joe did a story on Nathan Ivie, a Utah County commissioner. He’s Mormon, Republican, and represents one of the most conservative regions of his state. He was married to a woman and had two kids, but says he was living a lie. Earlier in 2019, at age 40, he came out. Joe asked him how it feels. “Free,” he said. “If Joe could use any word to describe it, it would be ‘free.’”
