I have been out since I was 16 but I have many aquaintences who have not come out till much later in life such as the above friend(who is 50)and I just wanna shout "you have missed the best bits!"but I know that would be cruel and useless given the situation-so I hold my tongue.

So-any resources I can point this fella towards?
TIA for your advice.
Local chapters of PFLAG might be of help - and HRC does have a few resources, but not many.
