    Hi. I'm Frazier. I don't usually use my real name online, but I thought I might as well if this site is about openness and everything. I guess I should give some basic info about myself. First of all, I'm gay. I came out to my parents when I was like 12 or 13. I'm the kind of person that you can't tell is gay, or as my stepfather put it "Fell of the gay tree and landed somewhere under the straight tree." So, my friends were surprised when I came out to them. My parents said they just knew, which wasn't really surprising to me. I decided to get on a site like this because I just thought I needed a space away from family and friends that know me well, so I can just talk about whatever is on my mind. Well, I guess that's it for now. I'm excited to get to talk to you all. Until then.:smilewave

    Welcome to EC! Feel free to message me. I'm often on at less than sociable hours, so I might take a while to get back to you.

    Peace

    Hey Frazier. My name's Tim and I'm really glad you found a place where you can feel open. It was really hard for me to feel like I fit in anywhere which is why this site has helped me so much. Ever since I joined I have been more open with myself and with other people. I don't crawl into a hole like I used to. Anyways, I'm usually on about 9-10 EST time if you ever want to chat.

    Hiya Frazier I'm Destiny but you can call me that or Mao. I don't remember when I knew I wasn't straight but I think it'd have to be around when I was in middle school when I had a crush on an ex friend. I was like wait what I thought I was going to be straight my whole life O3o So I couldn't figure out if I was bi or pan since I'm somewhere around those two but I identified as pan because I clicked with it and also find attraction to everyone. I don't care about their gender identity as I'll love them for who they are. I understand that bi is similar to that but I believe that anyone can identify as either. I see it as if you see an identity and you click with it, I'd suggest looking into it more and try identifying as it to see if it's really you.
