    Newly joined. Not sure I'm in the right place. I've been out for over 20 years, in a relationship for the last 16. I regularly contribute to another message board and thought it would be interesting to belong to one for LGBT people. Most seem sort of targeted--including this one, but I figure I have more to contribute here than I do to a board that's about hooking up. I'm hoping I can meet some interesting people and have some good conversations. Thanks for letting me hang out with y'all for a while...

    Hi OGS!

    Welcome to Empty Closets! I'm also somewhat of a new member but from what I have experienced here, people are very nice and supportive. No bashing or anything. I also love the fact that this is not a hook-up/dating site but a very safe online community where people like us can support/mentor one another.

    And yes, I think you are in the right place. You have been out [and proud, I am assuming] for 20 years now plus your experience with relationships can definitely help the ones who are struggling and are in need of your words of wisdom, especially the kids.

    Looking forward to interacting with you here.

    Cheers!
    Cigsmoker [Sam]
