    Hi. I'm 15 (almost 16!), I'm gay, and from England. I've never told anyone about my sexuality, so even writing this is a bit nerve-wracking, which I know sounds stupid - but it is! I hope that here I can find some help and support, because I plan to come out to my mum (I'm an only child living with a single parent), in the next year or so. So yeah, hi everyone! :smilewave

    Welcome to the forum, you'll enjoy it here. I was 12 when I realised that I was gay, and 15 when I accepted the fact like you! I came out to the first person (other than myself!) when I was 18 and to my sister and parents when I was 20. So just take you time. You will know when you want to share your 'secret'. I met my partner when I was 24 and we haev been together 26 years!

    Thanks! I realised it when I was 12 too! Although I came to accept it about a year ago to be honest, I am now just trying to summon up the courage to share it! I will make sure I take my time, I just don't like being untruthful about it. I'm so glad you and your partner have had such a successful, long relationship! I'm hoping to meet someone eventually... I'm just not sure how! Ha ha ha :icon_bigg

    Thanks for being so welcoming everyone! It's nice to find somewhere I can talk to similar people, because I don't actually know any LGBT people personally.
