Default Hello from Oregon!

Hey, everyone, I just happened to stumble upon this site and I figured I'd join after reading quite a few of your coming out stories.

I just recently came-out to my close friends a couple of months ago (all of them very cool with it! Woot!) and I'm slowly...not quite there yet...coming to terms with being a gay man. Anyways, since my close friends mainly consist of straight men, this'll be a nice place to talk about things that I really couldn't talk about with them.

I'm sure I'll enjoy it here.
