    Hey I just joined after an online friend of mine shared this site with me! I'm excited to explore this place. I'm 22, male and g-a-y! I'm not "out" at all and have been struggling with it for so long now. I just don't know if I will ever be able to come out to my family. It's not even because they are bad people. I know they would accept me. I have a gay cousin and my mum's partners niece is also a lesbian! so it's not like I'd be a novelty within the family. But, even still the thought of coming out and having to face questions about it and have people look at me differently is too much for me to bare >_>

    But anyway! I'm glad to be able to be who I am online at the least!

    Hello! Just joined as well but I figured I'd welcome you too, and let you know I'm in the same boat. Knowing that family has accepted other lgbt family members but still being scared about it may seem like a weird thing to fear, but I totally get it!

    Also congrats on the lovely avatar, Near is a FAVE of mine. :slight_smile:
