    I don't really know what to say.. I'm new here. New to this whole thing, really. For as long as I can remember, I have always considered myself a supporter of any type of love. But I can't support how I feel or express it. I think I might be a lesbian.

    And I don't know what to do about it and I'm scared.

    Hi and Welcome. It is okay to be scared. That is a valid feeling. Always know this. There is no rush on labeling yourself. If you have those feelings towards a woman and if you feel comfortable then experiment with it. If you do not feel comfortable with it then that is okay with you. Again there is no rush. Take your time if need be. Get to know yourself.

    Hi and welcome to the community Plumkin. It took a while for myself to realize I was interested in males, for the longest time I simply considered myself Bisexual. Today in fact I've completely accepted myself and who I am. I am gay and okay with it. I do agree with willy, take your time, there is no rush.

    Hi there, and welcome to Empty Closets! You have come to the right place. As mentioned above, try not to label yourself. Go with the feelings, and see where they take you.

    Being scared about what it all means, is quite natural. As you find clues and the unfamiliar becomes familiar, your fears and worries will lessen. Your own internal homophobia will disappear.

    Welcome aboard. Feel free to post, and ask away. Sharing your experiences, and reading others' experiences will help.

    Hi and welcome. Being afraid it's natural. It's part of what motivates us to learn. I hope this community can help to to quell some of that fear.
