Hello, people! I'm Akai (I prefer to use my nickname). My homeland is in Far East Russia and recently I moved to Canada. I want to be myself at least in the net and further in real life. It is the first time I'm being honest about my sexual orientation. I still have a hard time accepting myself as I am and my dream is to become open person about every aspect of my life. I'm tired of hiding. Lying to dearest to me people hurts me and them and I believe being honest is the way to happy life. I hope to find here a nice people to talk about everything and share knowledge.
Welcome Akai! Canada is definately a more open-minded country compared to Russia, so in this less hostile environment I hope you'll find the courage to come out to your loved ones, EC is always here to help you too!
True. Everything here is expensive but wages are way higher than in Russia so its kind of equalizes its cost
Welcome, Akai! The people here are great. You'll never be short of friends here. (*hug*) This is true. People are so much more accepting and understanding here.
You are right! ヽ( ⌒o⌒)人(⌒-⌒ )ﾉ I've noticed it the first days after arrival. However, I love my homeland too despite it being not so friendly to gay people. The younger generation who escaped Soviet times and brutal 1990s is more open-minded so I'd say things are slowly getting better.
Welcome to ec!, also good thinking on moving from a country where gay people are tortured and killed daily and no authority cares to a country where gay marriage is legalised!
Welcome to EC! At least you are in a country where people are open ... where I am .. I still need to hide. But I came out to some of my closest friends who love me dearly. Hope you will find the support here and over there. Take care.
