    Hi there :slight_smile: this is LameBoo and I'm new here
    I found this site while randomly browsing and it interested me. I discovered I like girls for quiet some time and had often denied it, its a very hard struggle for me during highschool and until now. I currently have a strong attraction to someone and I'm trying to avoid her and almost everyone. So, I only told few trusted persons about myself and yup, I'm in the closet. I'm mostly afraid coming out to my parents since my family looks up to me with high expectations. Although I trust my father because he told me 'You can be anything you want, its your life.'
    He taught me to be a respomsible person so I dunno, I'm not sure if they will love me the same and trust me or force to change if I come out to them. I'm thinking of telling them my struggle around my birthday but worried that I might
    crash our summer party. This is pretty long for an jntroduction, so that's all. Warm smiles to everyone :icon_wink

    welcome hun I'm Diana :slight_smile: attempt bring up the topic of homosexuality to your parents just ask them how they feel about homosexuals in general or even the LGBT community as a whole . You can also try bringing up gay marriage and observe their responses :slight_smile: You're not alone sweetie n_n

    Hey welcome to EC. Remember only come out when you feel comfortable, and there's no right time to do it. I wish you luck on your coming out process and that I'm here if you need to talk.
