    Hey, my name is Kelly. I am new to this forum. For the past few years I've identified as bisexual. I never really told anybody because I was too embarrassed. Also, I never really felt like the label fit me; and recently I've been wondering if I even like guys at all.
    Maybe I am a lesbian. It's hard for me to accept because I want to hold on to the heteronormativity.

    I never really had LGBT friends. I've always been too shy to reach out but I think that having LGBT friends will help me find answers that I want.

    Other things about me, I'm a college student with an undecided major and I like to play Minecraft and listen to Welcome to Night Vale.

    I look forward to making friends here. :icon_bigg

    Welcome to EC, Kelly!
    I know how you feel - I, along with a lot of other gay folks, tried to tell myself that I was bisexual before I could accept that I was only gay. In my opinion, it really does come down to being mentally ready to accept yourself as homosexual.
    Hope you like it here - it's a great place. :grin:

    Nice to meet you!

    Hey! Welcome to EC!

    I love WTNV! I haven't listened to them all yet though, I've been meaning to catch up.

    I'm sure you'll make lots of friends here :slight_smile:

    Welcome to EC :grin:

    I don't think I'll be much help, as a 14 year old, but I hope you manage to get all your questions answered! :grin:

    Hi and welcome to EC I'm relatively new(joined yesterday) but I've hovered for a couple days. Well first I want to say that I hope the people here at EC myself included, can help you come to terms with your sexual orientation and then you can enjoy the EC forum as well as learn something from all of its wonderful members. Hopefully you will be able to share your experiences with the community and give us the chance to get to know you. Good luck!! If you ever need a friend you can always send me a PM :slight_smile:

    Welcome. Personally I feel like getting away from heteronormativity is the great thing about being gay. If you came here to make friends, I'm sure you will. Despite my high post count, I haven't been here that long and I've already got a good number of friends.
