Default Hello from Knoxville Tennessee!

My name is Logan! I was born in Pheonix, AZ, and moved to this place at the age of about 5. This website has gotten a lot of buzz recently, and I thought I would check it out. I am a 15 year old gay boy who is in redneck central, but there are a lot of fabulous people around here, as well. I have been out since 7th grade, when my first boyfriend and I decided to come out together. I am now a sophomore, and things are a lot better! If you want to know anything else, feel free to PM me, or write on my wall!

Xoxo

- Logan.

Welcome, Logan!

I've been to Knoxville, it's a pretty nice place. I guess as Tennessee goes, one of the better places for gay people... but that might not be saying much

Hope you enjoy it here!

One thing: You mentioned that EC's gotten a little buzz recently. Do you remember where you've heard about us? It helps us to know how people are finding out about us.

Thank you guys! I actually live right outside of Knoxville in a small town, so we have a bit more homophobia, but we also have a LOT of support. Knoxville's pride is amazing, as well... @chip
I heard a kid in my GSA talking about it...

That's great to hear! Blair, one of our board members and our staff social worker, has been doing some outreach with the national GSA offices and made a couple of presentations at their big events. So maybe the word is filtering out!
