    So I’ve been wondering around here for a bit, and finally took the plunge.

    I’m a college student in the Midwest who’s known who he was for years, but only recently come out to select friends and immediate family. They’ve been supportive, though I still live in a conservative environment. My family is Christian, and my parents love me, but have made it clear they don’t think I’m living God’s “best” for me. But I’m very fortunate in that they have made it clear I will always be their son and they want to have a part in my life.

    Things are changing, and I’m just trying to figure it all out.
