Let's be honest here. I've been in plenty of "friendly" communites, and most of them I've had unpleasant experiences with. I've tried and given up on 6 or 7 forms in the course of the past two or three months, I hope this isn't the eighth. So why am I here then? Because I am not straight and highly ashamed of being so. If I stick around longer, you shall here more of my story. Hello to the lot of you. (Sorry, if I sound stuck up.)
Haha, you don't sound stuck up but you do sound fed up, and I'm sure you have good reason! The Internet is not always the friendliest and most tolerant of places. However, I think you'll like it here. I'm constantly (pleasantly) surprised by the honest and friendly nature of our community. Feel free to look around and join in on the discussions. I hope you settle in, and make this your last stop.
Welcome. I think you'll find EC to be pretty different than most other online communities. It's a combination of our Code of Conduct, which we take very seriously, a community that, as a whole, understands and respects the values of tolerance and acceptance, and a moderation team that works hard to keep communications civil, respectful, and on-topic. I hope you'll soon feel safe enough here to talk about the issues that concern you. This is exactly the community to do so.
Hi! First of all, welcome to EC! And I assure you that EC is the best site for you! You will flourish here. You will understand your sexuality here. And you will have friends here! And if you need someone to talk to, just post something on my wall and I'll be there ASAP! And dont feel defeated because the game barely started yet. And Im gonna be your teammate for sure!
