Hey everyone! My name's Andrea and I am completely and one hundred percent new to Empty Closets, and also to the LGBT community! To give everyone a little background on my current situation; I'm twenty, still living with my parents. Recently came out to my younger brother about being a Lesbian. He took it REALLY well, as I thought he might, and he has been super supportive (along with his super awesome girlfriend's help). Parents still don't know, and I don't think I'll be telling them until I move out at the end of next summer... Some of my friends know, but not all of them, and my extended family (grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc. have no idea. I don't have a ton of lesbian friends, but I do know a few, and it's been nice getting to know them and learning more about the lifestyle. I feel really comfortable talking to them. Still young though, so I know there's more life to come right? Anyone should feel free to contact me to just chat or give advice; I would LOVE to hear from you guys and gals Thanks for the warm welcome! (*hug*) -leditbe.
