Hey...Norwegian Wood, Welcome to EC. You don't need to keep it to yourself. But you might want to carefully consider all the effects that coming out as gay will have. I am not trying to tell you to not come out, neither am I telling you to come out. It just depends so much on the person you are and the circumstances around you. The are a lot of people here at EC who are willing to help if you have questions. If you don't mind me asking, what made you "suddenly" discover that you are gay? It sounds like you feel like it's a wonderful thing to know this about yourself. And, really it is fantastic to know yourself, regardless of wether you are gay or straight. And, hey if I'm poking my nose where it doesn't belong, just tell me and I'll stay away. Write back and tell me how things are going....I'd be interested in helping out in anyway I can!! Again. Welcome to EC!!!.....David
