    I live in the South (but not from there) and always feel the need to begin my introductions like that. >>

    Well, I'm horrible at talking about myself, so hi. I'm Jay, I'm in my late 20s, and I'm a n00b lesbian. Spent the better part of a decade identifying as a bisexual, though I didn't have the courage to come out to anyone. I've since come to terms that I'm a lesbian, but it's been a really tough transition and I often question whether or not I'm even gay. I'm pretty much out to my friends, co-workers, and my brother, but I'm absolutely terrified to tell my parents because they're extremely homophobic. I have an amazing girlfriend who literally has to hold my hand wherever we go to keep me from going after shiny things.

    I guess that's it about me? I can't wait to meet new people and a make a few acquaintances around here. So, hello everyone!
