    Now as long as it's not too personal and you don't mind sharing it again then feel free to share the first thing you posted on EC

    This is mine

    I'm just wondering. Is it possible to get a boyfirend and then come out as gay. Just from my POV that would be easy, for me at least since I'm not that confident and having someone beside me would ease the process of coming out.

    So. Is it possible?


    Bare in mind that I did manage to come out without the need of a boyfriend

    My first post was in the Welcome section. I was so nervous I couldn't even type out everything I wanted to convey. It took me half an hour to finally post it because of those nerves. xD

    Of course, things change, and looking back, the idea of me not identifying as gay for personal reasons sounds so incredibly stupid. As of now, I'm out to both my parents and three siblings. Now it's mainly when it comes up, people will find out.

    I can't find my first post, but it was on S&A the night before my birthday. It was this huge depressed rambling of why I thought I was gay and part of my school experiences. Of course a few months later I came out as trans, but I got so much help on that thread and it really solidified EC as my home :slight_smile:

    Fugs: This was your first post. (*hug*)

    The first posts I made were in the Anon section, and I have no desire to go and find the thread although I know I can. My first signed one was in the Funny Coming Out Stories thread; contents:

    I have too many posts, so I can't find, but I know that the first thread I commented on was a thread about Korean drama.

    It's pretty generic and bland, looking back on it. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Well, it wasn't so long ago, but it feels like ancient history already

    They haven't changed their minds in the last 3 weeks either. Mrs Best Friend even indicated which picture of me she liked best as a FB profile pic.

    This is my first post on here. Just a welcome thread where I finally got the nerve to join, and found out that I should have done so much earlier

    Well it was the last post in one of the many What OS do you use threads.
    http://emptyclosets.com/forum/346221-post43.html

    Wow I can not believe that was 4 years ago.

    So what was interesting, was I was on vacation for 2 weeks when I joined. I was worn out from a major project at work so I just stayed at home.

    I'll never forget the day I joined. I was in the shopping center across the street from my house. I was just coming out of the roundabout, pushed in the clutch to shift to second and said out loud to my self. Holy shit I'm gay. That was the first time I had courage to admit it.

    I came home and googled for gay support forum. Found this place. It took me a couple of days to post, but the rest is history.

    Just thinking I can not believe how far I have come.

    "Relax, God is in Control"
    - The words of my 20% wool, 80% acrylic hat that was made in Bangladesh.

    I know one of the hardest things to do is keep your temper when someone irrational is exploding at you, but whenever you get that really, really, really, small voice of consciousness in the heat of your rage, try to grasp that and just walk away. 'course that's really hard to do, eh.

    But I'm golly sorry about your situation. But just like I say when I feel on the brink of a melt down: 'Relax, God is in Control'. It doesn't matter what we are, I KNOW with a fiery certainty that God loves all of us on here, and will look out for us, you just gotta reach out. I'm not tryin to preach to ya or nothin, but that's always an option
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    That was my first post. I was helpin someone with some troubles about somethin. Heh, it's funny how different I feel now when making posts on EC when compared to when I first joined!

    this. when i first registered and made the thread, it felt like i was about to hear some very bad news. i knew that i was going to be told something i didn't wanna hear or like and when the responses came, i was in disbelief like my worst fear at the time was real.

    The first topic I posted on here ( besides an introduction,) was regarding whether being LGBT wins you a ticket to hell. It is my firm belief that we are judged not by our sexuality or whom we fall in love with, but by loving others, supporting others. The bible doesn't say anywhere that we should be basing love and affection on whether or not a person has a penis.

    My post history doesn't seem to go far enough back. Judging from my join date I would guess it had something to do with me coming out to my parents for the first time. I can't believe it was all the way back in 2007.
