New to this. Wanna say Hi

  1. Hello there everyone,

    So this is my first day on this website, and I'm kinda nervous. So I guess I could start by saying that I'm pretty sure I'm gay, but I m afraid to announce it to anyone cuz idk how my friends would take it, and my mom is alittle homophobic. I'm 18, and have felt this way ever since i turned 16. I'm also afraid of the whole "gay people going to hell theory".
    So that being said, this i why I made this website, because I want to talk and connect with other people like me. I am an online college student living at home, so i dont get out that much besides work. I'm really hoping to make friends, connect, have fun with other gay people, and even get a boyfriend on this site potentially. I'm sort of lonely at this point, but I'm not depressed or anything. So feel free to message me and leave comments on my posts anytime.
    Thanks! :icon_bigg

    Hey UrbanOutfit!
    I was a little nervous on my first day as well, but you'll soon find that the community is really open and you can talk about pretty much anything you're concerned about without fear of judgement. It's a great place to get advice or just talk about your favorite tv show.
    Once again, welcome to EC!

    Hi UrbanOutfit. I am new to this site... and trying to figure out who I really am. At forty-five.

    I grew up in the church, was taught these feelings are "temptations, like being an alcholic, and just like an alcoholic, you just don't drink. God gave you more to deal with, is all..."

    I don't know if i believe that close of a reading anymore, and know that we are all sinners - some of those really condeming pundits are some of the worst... God, more than anything, is a God of love... and mercy and grace are available to us all.

    I think that I am gonna stick with that part. :slight_smile:

    Hi there is nothing wrong with you being gay but there is nothing wrong with hiding it if you feel more confident not telling people. Secondly I don't think you should worry about going to hell the bible was writtenby man not god. If you need someone to talk to I'm here.
