Hi everyone, this is my first time using a website like this so I don't know where to start.....my name's Ashley, I'm 17 years old, and I'm pansexual. I've only recently come out to my closest friends and it's been quite relieving. For a long time I battled with my sexuality because of my religious upbringing. I hated myself for a long time and denied who I was. Well am. I can never come out to my family, I don't think anyway, I've always been raised in a Christian home. My dads a pastor. Yeaaa how ironic, the pastor's daughter likes girls. Talk about a plot twist, huh? So I looked for a website thing like this because, even if my friends have been the best and they are so supportive, I still don't feel completely comfortable with being totally open about it with them. That's just me though, they're all great. Anyway, I'm hoping to connect with people that I can relate to and make some awesome new friends :icon_wink
