Dr. Buxton has done numerous years of research to better help spouses, couples, professionals and society deal effectively with having a husband or wife come out. In 1983, after 25 years of marriage, Amity Buxton's husband, a decorated World War II veteran now buried in Arlington National Cemetery, came out of the closet. Realizing that there were no resources for people like her, she formed the Straight Spouse Network, today the only organization of its kind in the world to support heterosexual partners of gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender people.
