    Hi Everyone!

    I thought I'd take this opportunity to introduce myself and say hello. I am in my early-mid 40s and have finally gained the courage to face my own reality and come out to a handful of my closest friends and start socialising with the LGBTIQQ community. It is both a liberating but still a somewhat uncertain, anxious and slightly uncomfortable journey I have embarked on that I'm sure you can all relate to.

    I'd love to connect with others via this forum to share coming out experiences and seek advice about coming out "bravely" into this exciting new world and being the true, authentic me!

    Looking forward to making new friends!

    Thanks in anticipation.

    Sam
