    Hello, everyone, I'm new here.

    I'm 48, male, bisexual. Out to my wife, a former long-term girlfriend, and a small circle of friends in another state I lived in.

    I'm hoping to learn and share thoughts here and hopefully make friends. I would really like to be more out than I am now. It's important to me. I want to learn how to take the next steps.

    Thanks for offering this forum, it looks like just wha I've been missing.

    Hi Adray! It's great isn't it? I've only been here 3 days as I just came out (not to family) and its been such a relief having others so supportive to talk to. Especially for people like me who are so reclusive and have nobody IRL to discuss such a confusing issue with.

    Looks like and it is.
    Why? The members and the admins (I call admins the advisors and all the rest of titles).
    Glad to see more bisexuals around!
    Welcome & Enjoy your stay.

    That's a good idea, thanks. I will start a thread on my journey in the LGBT Later in Life forum.

    Thanks for all the nice welcomes, too. I've added an Avatar, hopefully it's not too gaudy.
