    Hey everyone!

    My name is Nor. Yes that is my full name, haha, it actually means "light" in Arabic. I was raised in a Muslim household and am still under somewhat strict religious guidelines, yet I am a lesbian. Fun combination there.

    I just came to terms with my sexuality recently. I have always known that I am a lesbian. I can look back to the 5th grade and remember what my interests were, how I dressed, who I looked at, etc. I dated many guys, but fell in love with my current girlfriend a couple of years ago. We dated a year later, after I came to terms with myself, and have been together for a year and three months since then.

    I'm a senior in high school and am extremely active in the LGBTQQI community. I am the founder and president of the Gay-Straight Alliance at my school and I consistently volunteer with Equality Florida, the LGBTQQI-friendly organization in Orlando.

    I'm here to meet new people and hopefully learn some more about you and myself! :slight_smile:
