    Hey everyone :slight_smile: I've been reading the coming out stories for quite some time now and learning what I can from them. I'm here to both figure out my sexuality (still not sure exactly what I am) and figure out how to come out to my parents/friends.

    I live in a small conservative town at the very tippy top of WI. I have had a hard time trying to even talk/deal with my sexual orientation, as it isn't a very safe place for people like us.

    I'm just glad that there's a place like this for me to come to for advice from people who have already been there or are in the same boat as me. I also look forward to helping out others with my experiences.

    :slight_smile:

    Hi Tad, oh wait sorry. too much resemblance to AA meetings :roflmao:

    We can help you figure it out, you can even have a rant, we don't care, we just love to help, that's all. Hay and if you make a few friends along the way, why not. At least you can be open here, here you can vent out all those suppressed emotions.

    I also came from a small town, roughly about 25k people, so naturally everyone knows everyone, and when you wake up in the morning, everyone already know what colour underwear you going to wear before you even made up your mind... it's that bad.

    Awww, Thanks! I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who feels that way about where I grew up, although I suspect this is the case for a lot of people here.
