    Firstly, it's lovely to meet you all! I just want to say thank you for creating a space like this. It's kinda sucky that a space like this needs to be 'created' because to me, the whole world should be a safe space but until that happens I suppose we rely on these spaces to continue growing.
    I've known for a very long time that I wasn't heterosexual but it's taken me years to finally say it out loud but I'm still not ready to discuss it out in the open so I kind of need you guys to help me through this!
    I'm graduating from university this year and although there is a thriving LGBTQ+ community in my university, I have observed and supported from a distance. I identified as bisexual for such a long time until I found the term' pansexual' and I finally felt that I could begin to understand my sexuality. However, I haven't spoken to any pansexuals so I thought this would be a great place to start! :slight_smile:
    I just wanted to say thank you for giving me courage to begin to actively explore my sexuality in this type of community!
    Pleased to meet you all and feel free to message me!

    Welcome! Unfortunately, the numbers are just against us when it comes to the LGBTQ population fraction. EC is a great place for finding many people who share your orientation.

    I agree that it's sad this kind of place needs to exist because the world isn't fully accepting of us all yet, but this is a nice place to find other lgbtq* friends as well as support and advice.
    Welcome! There are quite a few pansexuals around here; I am still questioning but I'm leaning towards pansexuality I think. Hope you like it here! (*hug*)
