    Hey everyone.

    New member, although I've been browsing the forms for months.

    The existence of this site and the community has already helped me so much, but I've run into a rough time and could really use some advice.

    I also want to make some new friends to add to my narrow circle.

    The few friends I do have, though they are extraordinary individuals, and I love them dearly, are straight.

    It's impossible for me to talk to my parents and nearly all of my family (though I am out to some of them) because they just don't understand things, and are not good with emotions/feelings.

    I don't personally know any gay people, and think it would be helpful to connect with the community here.

    This seems to be a great place.

    I also hope to contribute something to all of you, and give back for what you've already done.

    special thanks to the EC staff for the existence of this forum.

    Thanks for reading this.

    I look forward to being a part of the community.

    I joined for that too! My friends aren't straight, but they're also just that. My friends. I needed to join a community to prove to myself that I could be out and a part of the LGBT community without being judged for 466866743254478657 reasons.

    That being said, this place helps so much. I've never seen an online community so universally advertising and supportive as this one.
