    Hey there!
    This is my first post to this forum!
    I'm Erika. I'm 20 years old and living in Chicago going to art school (yay uncertain futures!).
    I've been out as bi for three years now, and after reading BI AMERICA by Willian E. Burleson, I realized that there's actually bi communities online, so I decided I'd check them out (hence, why I'm here).
    I tried to be a big part in the LGBT community in Nashville (helped my sister and her trans boyfriend start the Gay Straight Alliance in our highschool before I came out), and now I find myself lost in the community in Chicago since I am no longer just seen as an "ally".
    I have faced a lot of adversity from my gay and lesbian friends, and have nowhere to turn in the city to feel accepted for my sexuality. So, if anyone here lives in Chicago, and would like to meet up and see if we can be friends, I'd be totally down!

    Well yea,
    Nice to meet ya'll, and chat with ya'll :3

    Hello and welcome to EC! Creative people! Yes! x3 I find it very beautiful that you helped your sister and her trans boyfriend create the GSA. *bows* I hope you'll have a great time on here.

    Lots of love,
    Andy
