Default I'm new here

Hi, just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Brad, I'm 24 and gay. I accepted my sexuality when I was around 20 and came out to my sister a few months ago (it went great!). Still trying to work up the courage to come out to the rest of the family.

I am Canadian, and have been in the military for about 6 years. Kind of a weird career choice for a gay guy, but hey, I'm kind of a weird guy. I just stumbled across this site, and it seems like a pretty friendly place, thought I would join in instead of my usual lurking.

to EC! Glad you've decided to join. See you around!

A military career is not an odd choice for gay guys (and girls), at least in my opinion.
