    Hello all! :smilewave

    Figured I should introduce myself before jumping into discussion. My name's MoonlitWater. I realized I was Bi at age 17. I've been a member of some GSAs or online communities throughout the years, but nothing extremely active. Hoping I can get the support I need here!

    May I enquire as to who the cats on your profile are?

    Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone! ^_^

    Some family member's cats. The fat kitty passed several years ago (he lived until 15 years old, at least), but I always thought it was an adorable picture. The smaller one and the bigger one sleeping in opposite sized beds, hehe.

    I'm a huge Simpsons fan. Figured I should represent somehow.

    Thanks! ^_^ Love your Mitch Hedberg sig!

    Just wondering, does it sometimes take awhile for thread replies considering all the different time zones? I posted my coming out story (and asked for some needed advice) in I think the appropriate subforum, but haven't had any replies yet.

    Hello. I was referred here by MoonlitWater. Contrary to what it may seem, my username is unrelated to hers; mine's a nickname from elsewhere.

    I'm what would probably technically be called bisexual, or, "bisexual enough" as I guess I'd call it. I never really identified as bisexual until other people started making a deal out of it -- mostly stuff I see on the internet like "Do bisexual men exist?". Uh, yes? And I still barely do, because it's not like I'm crazy about every or even most men I see -- as if people who are straight are attracted to every or even most guys/girls they see. :lol: I never "came out", nor feel that I have to, any more than I feel I should "come out" about the fact that I like long showers and play video games. My sexuality is something that almost never comes up in my everyday life -- my closest friends happen to know my proclivities only because it comes up during "Damn, that guy/girl's hot!" moments, and who talks about stuff like that with anybody but their buds? I don't see straight guys talking about hot girls with their parents or coworkers.

    I've never felt like I needed support, so this is my first online community of this sort. I'm here more to help others by sharing my experiences and mentality.

    Well I don't know if you mean you're not extremely active or the forums you frequent, but it's not manditory here I can tell you that much. You want good activity drama-free, you've come to the right place.

    Welcome aboard! (*hug*)

    Yeah, that's what I meant.

    Okay, cool. I've seen drama first hand in a GSA, it wasn't pretty.

    What is a GSA?

    GSA = Gay Straight Alliance. High schools and Colleges tend to have some form of them. Granted the drama I saw was some weird in-fighting about the club's goals, but it seemed like pointless fighting (instead of fighting, why not talk calmly like adults?) either way.
