Welcome to EC. You'll find all kinds of support here, we've all had people who have reacted badly to our sexuality. People often use religion to justify their dislike of gays, but it's all a load of crap. If we're going to Hell for being then everyone that has: Worked on a Sunday Eaten or touched Pork (like say a football) Worn Polyester Eaten Shellfish Planted two different crops in the same field are going right with us.
Hi and welcome to Empty closets! Don't be ashamed of who you are! Feel free to add me as a friend/Message me if you want too.
You can still wall message others, as well as post in threads and create your own. If you decide to apply to become a full member (Must be a member for 2+ weeks, and have 50+ posts), and are approved, then you gain access to the Chat Room as well as Private Messaging to other full members. You can, however, always contact any staff member even as a regular member through Private Messaging. I hope this helped! And welcome to EC =)
Well I am a God lover & I don't think you will go to hell! If you are these disorders I think you should have a good therapist to help you through your mental roller coasters. You are not alone there are millions of people around the world who have felt exactly how you are feeling or will do in the future. Take some deep breaths and do something you enjoy that should help you get through the rough patches. *throws a friendly life line of hugs your way*
Nope, applying is completely free and easy! There's an application form that you need to fill out once you meet the criteria, and if staff approve it, then you become a full member. You won't need this for a while, but the application form is over here =)
Welcome! The people here are awesome, so it's a great place to be. Give your family some time - it takes time to adjust to a new way of thinking/feeling. Hopefully they'll come around. *Stephany*
