Default I'm really excited to be here!

Hey everyone,

First, this looks like a great safe place for all kinds of individuals. I've never signed up for a forum before, and I've only just started looking around, but I can already feel the support. I'm so happy a place like this exist.

I'm a sophomore in college and I came on here because I realized I don't have a lot of gay friends. I know of a lot of gay people at my school and I talk to them every once in a while, but all of my close friends are straight. Actually, it's this fact that's been bothering me for a couple of weeks (more on that later).

Once again, this seems like a really great place and I can't wait to meet friends and help in any kind of way I can to those who may be struggling at the moment.
