Ep. 43 - Harry Fox

Harry Fox got his B.I.D. (in industrial design) from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York, and his M.B.A. in finance from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. He spent 30 years in the IT industry and ended as a Chief Information Officer for one of the large insurance firms. Harry struggled to find who he was and spent 12 years in therapy. He's always had an interest in the "mind" and so took a lot of courses and studies in psychology and philosophy. Harry married a beautiful woman and was with her for over 20 years and produced a beautiful son. Harry came to the realization that he was gay which ended in a separation from his wife and yet he spent the last nine months of her life navigating her clinical care when she was diagnosed with a rare, aggressive cancer, before she died in 2017. Harry found a community in an organization called Gamma which was founded in 1978. Gamma is an organization that started in the Washington DC area, and now has expanded in different parts of the world. It was really an organization of men who were married to women and yet have same sex attraction. Harry became the facilitator of the meetings for gay, bisexual, or questioning men since 2013 and an average of two times weekly since March 2020 when Gamma took the meeting virtual due to COVID. Currently, Harry facilitates four different types of meetings: weekly meetings, open to all gay, bisexual, and questioning men; a meeting every every 3 to 4 weeks specifically for bisexual men; a monthly couples meeting for bisexual men, and their wives; and a separate monthly meeting just for the wives. Harry also works privately with gay and bisexual men as a coach as they step through their own personal journey. The website for Gamma is www.gammasupport.org and Harry's email for those that would like to contact him personally is [email protected] .
