Hi Empty Closets Community! I guess my name is Easton (not sure if I'm allowed to use my real name on here), I am 17 years old from Canada and I am gay and in the closet. I have been thinking about coming out for sometime now and I think I will be making a post in that forum about it soon. (I'll include a link in this thread once I do) Some other things about me; I love photography, running, hockey and golf. I like listening to a lot of different music but my favourites right now are Alt-J, The Black Keys, Macklemore, Avicii, and Said the Whale (yes my taste is very eclectic). I'm am almost done my final year of high school and I will be going to university next year for Public Affairs and Policy Management. I do lots of extra curriculars at my school like student council (President), leadership camp, link crew and I also help out with a ducks unlimited program at my school. I hope that this wasn't too much but anyways I look forward to getting involved in this community! Easton :icon_bigg
Hey there Easton. I don't think we're allowed to use our real names, anonymity is important here. If you're thinking about coming out, whether it's just to a friend or out entirely, we'll be here to support you every step of the way. And it sounds like you've got a lot of interests, be sure to check out the general forums if you're ever bored! :welcome: to EC!
Hi Easton. I am also a hockey fan and I was a lousy golfer in my younger days. You sound like a bright and interesting young fellow. If you don't mind communicating with someone my age, you may post on MyWall when you reach 10 posts.
