Hi. I'm new to anything like this. In fact, at 34 I feel kind of behind as this is the closest I've come to coming out to anyone. Needless to say, I don't have any sort of support or outlet where I live. My hometown is very conservative-which I am not. I'm hoping to meet people here to talk to without risk unless or until I'm ready to take that risk with someone in my real life.
Hi KSatt! Welcome to EC! You'll find a lot of people here who have experienced what you are going through. You might want to check out the LGBT Later in Life Forum, if you haven't already.
