    Hi, I have been here for about a month and have been quiet just reading. I'm new to this forum and to this world. I have recently come out of the closet but only to a select few. I have to say that one friend sorta yanked me out of the closet by just confronting me with the question. I couldn't continue to lie because it just made me feel horrible. I'm came out older than most at the age of 36. I did the whole straight life with marriage and all. I was married for 7 years knowing full well that I was a lesbian since way before my marriage. That is in the past and now all I can do is move forward. I hope to be able to use this site to move along my path. I need to become comfortable with the idea of being a lesbian and accepting myself. I doubt that my family would be accepting but it is hard to make them accept me when I have a hard time accepting myself. Well this is the journey that I'm on and I hope to hear back from a lot of you soon.

    Hello Yenny! (*hug*) It's so awesome to have you here on EC! I hope you have found EC to as wonderful place for you as it has been for me! I came out like 2 months before I turned 36 this year, so I know how hard that can be. I'm so happy that you've started your journey & you've definitely found the right place for love, support & advice. (&&&)
