Hi everyone, I guess I should have started in this room and introduce myself. I just turned 20, I'm gay but closeted to my family and most of the outside world, except to my bf and a couple close friends. I've known my entire life I was gay but never acted on it until I was 16. I'm in a committed relationship with a man 18 years older than me. I've kept this relationship hidden for a few years and it has not been easy hiding it. I want to come out but have some family complexities, primarily with my mother to work out. I stumbled on this site the other day and wow it's so helpful and full of really cool people. Hope I can also be helpful to others too.
Hello and welcome! I'm glad you found us--hopefully we'll be able to make your coming out process less painful!
Hi and welcome. Your situation sounds difficult but at least you have had a committed partner to help you through it all.
