    Hey y'all! I am so excited to have found this site!!

    My name is Britt. I found this site while Googling sites for closeted bisexuals. I am a married woman in my 30's, and I'm living my life as a closeted bisexual. I hate not feeling free to be who I am, but there are many reasons why I'm scared to come out.

    As far as my family and most of my friends know, I am a straight ally. I am very vocal in my support of all things LGBT, and my family knows this (whether they agree or accept it or not) but I don't feel comfortable in stating the truth. Isn't that horrible?

    Anyway, I'm here to make friends with people who understand my situation and know what it's like to feel the need to hide who you are. I'm happy to be here. :slight_smile:

    Hey Britt,
    welcome to EC. I'm pretty sure you'll like it here =)

    I don't think that's horrible. At least you have the courage to speak up for the community. I mostly just get very quiet because I fear being perceived not straight =/

    Hi there. No worries about feeling uncomfortable. I'm pretty sure a lot of us are. There is just so much danger in supporting LGBTQ things, and there is even more danger in being apart of the LGBTQ community. So that's quite alright.

    And, believe me, I only registered a day ago and I already feel comfortable and secure in this community. It's really awesome. And, it's a true welcome!

    Hi Britt, and welcome to Empty Closets! I'm sure you'll find one or two members on EC, with whom you can share your experiences, and talk about your situation. Being scared to come out, though yet wanting to live your life the way it was meant to be, is quite common among LGBTQ*.

    It's not horrible at all, not feeling comfortable with coming out to others. For many, it takes a while until they feel comfortable to share something so personal about their life.

    I'd encourage you to read through posts and post in the various forums on EC. Over time, you will become more comfortable with your own sexual orientation, as well as with starting to come out to others. Take your time.

    Welcome aboard. :slight_smile:
