    Did you purposely search out EC b/c you had some LGBT+ problem?

    Yes, I did search out EC because I was slightly questioning and thought I might be going bi.


    How about you?

    Re: Did you purposely search out EC b/c you had some LGBT+ problem?

    I googled "LGBT community online", because one night I felt like I was going to explode if I didn't have somewhere I could be myself, even if it was online, and because there's still a lot I'm trying to figure out about being a transguy. That search led me here.

    Someone online actually recommended this place, but I was questioning so I thought I'd have a look, and now I am stuck. :3

    I stumbled across it whilst looking for inspiration for coming out letters. Some really weird times, but EC helped me get through it. It was kinda refreshing to know there was a whole online community going through the same things as I was. It definitely gave me the courage I needed to come out to my family :grin:

    I went with other. I used to post on a gaming forum and the topics that interested me the most were LGBT topics, so finally I figured "let's see if there's an LGBT forum." I looked at several others before landing on EC and realizing just what a well-run forum it is :slight_smile:

    Re: Did you purposely search out EC b/c you had some LGBT+ problem?

    I remember googling Is Texas really homophobic? and then I got to this site, but didn't even pay much attention. A few months later I decided to check it again because I wanted to talk about some gay topics and had no one to talk to.

    Well, I was searching on Google on how to come out to Asian parents and EC popped up.

    Not purposefully, I was on another forum site before this one, but that one wasn't nearly as helpful. I just stumbled upon EC and figured I'd check it out.

    Re: Did you purposely search out EC b/c you had some LGBT+ problem?

    I was searching for advice on how to come out of the closet, and an EC thread came up in the search results. I thought it was really cool that there was a community like this, so I joined right away, and came out to my parents less than a month later. ^^

    Re: Did you purposely search out EC b/c you had some LGBT+ problem?

    Yes, I was struggling with my sexuality and I wanted to talk to other LGBT people about it since I didn't know anyone in person who would understand what I was going through.

    EC gave me the courage to come out to my friends and family. I am very thankful for this online community. I am glad that I discovered it. (&&&)

    I guess my poll question should have been

    "Were you searching for solutions to your LGBT problems when you found EC?".

    Re: Did you purposely search out EC b/c you had some LGBT+ problem?

    i was suicidal, ready to check out with 8 ampules of narcotics. Quick and painless... And yes it was partially due to me being LGBT alone and isolated in non supportive environment.

    when i search LGBT online community then this site pop up. Took me a while to circumvent the government due to this site is being banned for negative content. But so far i dont see anything negative within.

    i'm glad i didn't shot that shit to my vein

    Yes. I was questioning my sexuality and I was feeling really really anxious about it and just really lost in general.

    I decided to search up LGBT+ forums and I found EC- and I'm really glad I did.

    I don't know if I'd call it an LGBT problem or not, but it was definitely a problem relating to an LGBT relationship haha
