Default Hay-lo from STL

Hey friends! Newbie here! The name's Johnny, John, Jack, all the above. I live/go to schol in STL and just joined for support and discussions!

I'm totally out*.

*My friends, family, everyone knows I'm gay but my parents don't know I've had a boyfriend of 7 months. I came out to my friends about 3 years ago after accepting myself for who I am and told my parents recently. I didn't want to tell them about my boyfriend right away because I wanted to gauge their reaction. My dad is totally cool with it because he has 2 gay brothers but my very Catholic mother is having some trouble getting used to it. I think everyone was shocked because no one saw it coming but it doesn't matter to them anymore and have kept all my straight guy friends and my gal friends love to have me around even more :P

Anyway! I'm super outgoing, feel free to ask me anything and don't hesitate for advice, I love sharing my (minimal) experience and helping others!

Cheers,
-Johnny Boy
