    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.

    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!
