    Hello to all of my friends at EC. I know its been a while since I last talked to you but I have been doing a lot of soul searching lately about my self and how I feel about my orientation. Well I had an opportunity to talk to a friend of mine who lives in California. He is a very understanding person who is gay and I shared with him how I feel and about the journey I have been taking the last twenty-three years about the stuggle I have been dealing with in terms of my orientation. It gave me an excellent opportunity to get a lot off of my mind and I can now say that I feel comfortable with who I am. I accept myself as being gay. I have to thank him for listen to me for over half an hour on the phone last night and I owe a great deal of thanks and gratitude to all of you at EC as well for your guidance along the way too. I must say that it feels very good to be able to talk to someone and sort things out. Thank you :icon_wink

    That's great news, careandrespect. I'm glad you've come to terms with yourself and are feeling better about your orientation. It's also good to know that you have a supportive friend who can help you discover yourself! Hopefully this is the first of many happy coming out experiences :grin:.

    That's great! I know this site helped me a lot in getting comfortable with being gay - previously I'd had almost no one to 'talk' to about it!
