Even after this revelation that both of them were attracted to the same gender, Chris and Joe still tried to make their marriage work. They understood that they had two growing boys and, at the time, believed that it would be in their kids’ best interest if they stayed together. Chris began dating women in her free time, and Joe began dating men.

How Unique Is The Situation?

While the story of Joe and Chris has been made popular through The Oprah Winfrey Show, just how unique is their situation? According to certain polls, only 28% of bisexual individuals have told the ones closest to them about their sexual orientation. That number is even smaller for men, with only 12% of men revealing to their loved ones their true sexuality.
