Hi everyone, my name's Karen. I'm 24 and I live in Alabama, I also have Asperger's Syndrome (a mild and high functioning form of autism). I recently came out as homoromantic asexual and if you don't know what homoromantic is (it's where I'm attracted to women romantically and emotionally). Ever since I came out, I've lost everyone I've known in my current community including long time friends and I'm preparing to move to Birmingham, AL soon because I can't be myself in my current community without the fear of being judged or being confronted as well. I look forward to getting to know you all and hopefully make new friends on here as well.
Hi Karen, and welcome to Empty Closets! I am sorry to hear that you have lost friends and the people around you since you came out. It is a shame that your friends reacted in the way that they did. (*hug*) You have made the right decision in joining Empty Closets. I am sure you will be able to make some new friends on here, and be yourself. Welcome aboard and feel free to ask if you have any questions about EC.
Welcome to EC Karen, I'm sorry that you've lost your friends over coming out. (*hug*) you definitely made the right choice in joining EC, everyone is friendly and caring!
Hi Karen welcome to the site! I'm sorry about your friends and how they reacted, and I wish you best of luck in your move and to make a new start. You'll be more than welcome on this site of course, and hope to see you around!
I wouldn't call them "friends" if they leave you just for that. Sure you will meet other people who will love you for what you are Good luck girl
