    Hello everyone,

    I've been lurking for a while, but thought I'd finally get some courage to come say hi and join in. Let's see, I just came out to my counselor last month, and since then I've been able to make up my mind about coming out to some of my family, which is something I'd never thought possible, and part of the reason for that is reading the inspiring words the EC members write to and for each other. So thanks everyone. You may not see the results of every life you touch, but we're there.

    I'm from about as deep south as you can get in the US and not be in TX, and due to a strong Pentecostal upbringing, hid and rejected my sexuality for a long time to the point of being married with kids. So, I have a lot to work on, but I'm getting there. My counselor is awesome and I'm pretty sure I'm going to be able to come out to my brother in the next couple of weeks when I can get to see him face to face.

    Anyway, that's me, and thanks guys!

    (*hug*) Welcome to E.C. :slight_smile: I grew up in a small town in the deep south, parents are fundamentalists, and hid my sexuality too.
