    Hello all! Just wanted to say hi. I've been lurking on the forums around here for a while now, and you all seem like awesome people, so I thought I'd come and post something. Not sure what I want to talk about yet or anything, and not sure how much I'd be able to help anyone else---still going through the coming out process and all---but I'd be willing to contribute what I can.

    For logistical purposes, I'm a 24 year-old woman who's been labeling herself as "bisexual" for about 5 or 6 years now. Virtually all of my friends know, as well as some people at work. My parents, my brother, and my other family memebers, however, do not. This is especially awkward considering I'm still living with them....*sigh.*

    Anyway, though, all angst aside, it's cool to find a place to talk about this stuff. Thank you all for being here. I hope I can help some of you as much as your mere existence helps me! :slight_smile:
