Hello all! I'm Dan, I'm 17 and I'm from South Wales in the UK I realised I way gay at a very young age, and came out to my parents at the age of 12. At this point all of my friends and family know, and aside from a few shocked reactions over the years everyone's been very supportive. I discovered this site quite by accident, but I'm glad I did, I think what this place is based on and the help the members here give each other is fantastic! I know that as lucky as I've been, there are many LGBT people out there who have things a lot more difficult than I did during my coming out, and I hope I can give some kind of useful advice to anyone here who needs it, and from reading through the site I know there are many people here who would help me if I ever needed it I look forward to getting to know the members here and becoming an active member of the site :icon_bigg

Welcome. As you come from Wales I cannot resist - hope you are not the only gay in the village. :rolleyes: Sorry, shouldn't have done that. Good to have you on board.
Hi Dan, and welcome to EC from Jim in Toronto! I'm glad you've found people around you to be supportive. That's great to hear.
Thanks for the warm welcome all :lol: You wouldn't believe how often I get that joke, thankfully no I'm not lol
