Bellevue, TX, February 05, 2026 --(PR.com)-- M. D. Gage, who lives in tranquility on his purebred Simbrah cattle ranch in Clay County, Texas, near Larry McMurtry country, has completed his new book, “The Reflective Years of Benjamin Bird: Memoir of a Closeted Bisexual Male”: a stirring tale inspired by the author’s own life that follows one man’s journey to look back on his life of deception while living as a closeted bisexual.
Author M. D. Gage is an emeritus professor of history at Tarrant County College in Fort Worth, Texas. He received his BA and MA degrees at the University of Oklahoma. He has published several research articles in regional historical journals and an extensive series of weekly articles on local and regional history published in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
The author shares, “This story about the life of a closeted bisexual male is dedicated as an expression for tolerance to the untold number of closeted homosexuals and bisexuals like Benjamin Bird (and [myself]) who remain in the closet throughout their entire lives because when they need to come out and be fulfilled and true to themselves, they feel threatened and unsupported and lack the courage and bravado to confront the anticipated dreadful damaging prejudices alone.
“This story also is meant to provide insight to closeted individuals (and to those who care for them) on how difficult it is to sustain a life of deception and survive its emptiness without resorting to even more unnatural behavior, such as turning to drugs and alcohol or settling into a dulling depression, risky promiscuity, or, like Benjamin Bird, feverishly overachieving in their careers and endeavors, trying to replace the loneliness with busyness to ignore the guilt of being deceptive, hypocritical, and self- condemnatory.”
Published by Page Publishing, M. D. Gage’s engaging series is a powerful story of self-realization and acceptance that is sure to resonate with readers from all walks of life who have ever felt the need to hide who they truly are from the world for fear of shame and rejection.
