    Hey guys and gals,

    Just wanted to introduce myself!
    I'm 17, Im a pro photographer
    I am also a music geek :slight_smile:

    My coming out has been really painful,
    if you are in a situation where you have to deal with negative reactions from a small town or from christians let me know. I've been through it all :slight_smile:

    I'll probably be on here a lot to counter-balance the crap I get fed every day from my parents and therapist. This is a great resource, thanks!

    Everyone seems great, and I'm looking forward to getting to know you!

    Hi Noah. Yes - hopefully this will counter-balance some of the negative stuff you are being 'fed' about homosexuality. We're all people, just like your parents and neighbours, only we understand where you're coming from and don't judge like they do.

    Welcome to EC from Jim in Toronto!
