As we start a new year, there is something I want to share with you. You see, I\u2019m gay. This is not a choice I made, but something I&#8217;ve known about myself my whole life. Through life&#8217;s twists and turns, marriage, divorce, fatherhood, successes, failures &#8211; I&#8217;ve landed on this day, a day when I&#8217;m happier and healthier than I\u2019ve ever been. And I\u2019m finally comfortable enough for everyone to know this truth about me. Thanks for following me and supporting me over the years. As we continue our journey, I hope this news won&#8217;t change how you see me. I\u2019m still the same Cody I always was. You just know a little more about me now. My hope for the future is to live the most honest, authentic, loving, and open life possible. Here&#8217;s to being happy with yourself, no matter who you are, who you love, where you come from, or what cards life has dealt you. Thanks again.
