    Hello~

    My name is Michael, I'm 18 years old, and been a lurker for a bit but decided to join up to get some help. Recently, i've been struggling with how I feel... I am gay 100%, its just half of me wants to stay locked in the closet forever and the other half wants to be in a gay pride parade.

    I've been out to one person for almost two years, and maybe a couple more to come this summer.

    Anyways, Hi there, I hope to meet a lot of people like me and make some friends :slight_smile:

    Bye!

    Hi Mike. I hope that you can reach a comprimise with your two halves. There is a 'happy medium' between being in the closet and marching in the Pride parade, you know...

    Welcome!
