    Hi guys, my name's Megan. I've known I was gay since I was about 13 and never really came out until I was a sophomore in high school. Long story short, I came out to my VERY Christian parents and it did NOT go well. At all. I'm living with my aunt right now because she's really the only person that is okay with my sexuality. But I was wondering if anyone has gone through the same thing? And if you haven't, do you have any advice for me?

    I haven't come out to my parents yet, so I've not gone through something like that. I'm sorry you have to live with your auntie, but at least there's someone that accepts you :slight_smile:

    I hope you enjoy spending time on this website :slight_smile: I also hope you make friends and become a valued part of our community :thumbsup:

    Feel free to message me whenever you like :slight_smile:

    Hello Megan. Sorry to hear about things not going well with the situation with your parents. That must be really rough on you, but at least it sounds like your Aunt is a wonderful person. C: I hope you enjoy it here on EC.
