    Hello, everyone! I am a newcomer here. I'm a 24-year-old bisexual guy from Brazil who is currently living (studying, to be more precise) in Belgium.

    I have been accompanying the interesting debates of Empty Closets since last year (I particularly liked one on the 2008 economic crisis) and today I finally decided to register. It is really good to be amongst people who have experienced or are experiencing the same as you, so I'm very positive about becoming a new member.

    Nowadays I am out to nearly everyone, but it was a long way to come to this point, so I sympathise with those who are still struggling with it. I will try to be as active as possible around here. :slight_smile:

    Everyone here is really helpful and understanding, as I'm sure you know by now.

    Thank you, everyone!

    Thank you, neighbour! I'm doing a Master's in Governance and Development. I decided to come to Belgium because the university where I'm studying is internationally accredited and has a history of scientific research and expertise in the field of development. Also, the country is cool, LGBTQ friendly, affordable, has always interested me and the people are nice!
