    Salut. :smilewave

    My name is Tennyson. I'm from Chicago and I'm 14, but I've known I liked boys since I was, I don't know, 9, maybe? I'm out to my family and they're really supportive but otherwise I'm only out to a few close friends and not many others. I wanted an LGBT forum to join so I could talk about LGBT stuff more and this one seemed active and cool. I lurked around a bit before I registered :icon_redf

    I'm homeschooled right now and I don't get a lot of chances to meet LGBT people. I'm really proud of who I am, but I also know what it's like to be bullied for being gay, so I'm not always so ready to be open about it.

    I hope to get to know some people here (&&&)

    Welcome! I'm glad you're proud to be who you are. Too many people are ashamed or embarrassed about being gay. It seems like you have a good head on your shoulders

    Hello and welcome, Tennyson!

    It's amazing to know that your family and closest friends are supportive. Times are definitely changing, and in some cases for the best. :slight_smile:
    I've been bullied too, I know how difficult it can be, but it is always amazing when you find other people to relate to. I also lurked a bit before registering, it really seems like a very open and warm place to be.

    Enjoy EC! :slight_smile:
