My name is Lambros. I'm 26, male, grew up in Brooklyn, now living in long island. I just moved out here to go to school several months ago and I finally started accepting my sexuality. I grew up with a conservative Greek dad who is great but his values have led me to go in the closet since I was 14 or so, to myself and others and I was always unhappy but didn't want to dive deep enough to find out why. I have a lot to learn from you guys and girls and I hope I find a sense of community with all of you. I'm happy a site like this exists and I feel proud to be entering the doorway to this community. My journey feels as if it has just begun.
Welcome! I'm also 26 and also just now accepting of myself enough to start coming out. I hope you find EC to be as good for you as it has been for me.
Need more welcomes, show me love lol ---------- Post added 20th Nov 2013 at 10:49 PM ---------- Biwinning you from Kentucky and me from New York, I guess just thinking about it, I found someone who has shared a more common life experience than I have ever found in years of my existence before. I hope I can share and learn things with/from you and everyone else here of whom I feel a kinship with because most of you can understand the pain I've gone through and I'm sure I can relate to the pain you have gone through. I need to heal and rely on you guys and girls for emotional support because I don't have much and I NEED to believe that this community will attempt to reach out a hand to someone who has been really scared to reach back for that pull towards a more livable existence.
Welcome! or Γεια σου! My family are traditional Catholics, and I can relate to finally coming to terms with my sexuality when I moved for school. Good luck on your journey!
