  1. Hi everyone. I am a 29 year old teacher in the US. I am not out to anyone, but I am working on it needs to come about. People have guessed for years, but I've always hid in that closet. I'm hoping this is the year to get out.

    Hullo and welcome! I'm curious though, what do you teach? Elementary, high school, university perhaps?
     
  5. I teach Kindergarten. Remember that cartoon show recess?? And they portrayed the Kindergartners as wild and crazy?? Its pretty acurate.

    Hi there and welcome to EC from someone in your neck of the woods. This is a great place to help you work through the coming out process. Many of us have gone through it, or are going through it now, so please feel free to reach out for advice and support. And, once you feel comfortable enough, there are some really great gay places to go out in DC.

    Hi and welcome to EC from Jim in Toronto!

    I didn't really clue in to the fact that I was gay until I was in my mid 30s and came out after being married for 9 years. So no matter what your circumstances or your age, it's never too late.
