Tom Gaebel, 54, is engaged to Allie Velasquez, 41. The couple live in Los Angeles.Tom I’d been looking for a husband for years, but had had a lot of failed relationships, because I picked the wrong guys.
I had an idea of what a perfect gay relationship looked like. Allie, whom I met before she transitioned, finally seemed like the perfect match.We met in a gay club in West Hollywood in 2007.
We dated on and off for several years. I could never figure out what Allie’s problem was. She kept wanting to step away. She was struggling with this secret.
Eventually, Allie said, “If you are serious about me, then this is something you need to know.”Allie started her transition five years ago.
