    I found out about it by looking around for coming out support and I found EC

    I was Googleing something that happened to be on the "For Parents" page of EC, and I saw they had a forum. I signed up and after getting my username figured out, here I am, 5 months and 24 days, 1,736 posts, 43 friends, and two avatars later.

    I know I googled something. I’m not quite sure what. I think it was something along the lines of “Why bisexuals are perceived as sex addicts”. This site came up. After several other google searches of a much more phallic nature, I decided to join the website.

    The advisor for my school's LGBTQ club said there were online support groups, so I looked them up and this is the one I found.

    Well, mine's quite a story.

    I was in love with my best friend and googled something along the lines of "I'm gay and in love with my best friend help" and there were a few stories. I read some on EC for 2 days when I scrolled up and realised it was a forum. Voila.

    I found a link here in a comment on a six-billion-secrets that had to do with somebody hating the fact that they were gay.

    I googled my thoughts, and more often than not EC was at the top of the results. I also noted it was by far the most helpful place for advice, in what I was looking at.

    A friend in high school showed me EC. She was always on here and I think she was even part of the staff? It was so many years ago though I don't even remember. I was too afraid to come on here at the time. Now here I am.

    It was when I was knee-deep in bisexual research, and looking to connect with others in the same position. There came a moment of decision, when there were a good three or four sites, and in the end, I chose EC since it seemed the most beneficial.
