Hey! - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender people coming out

Superlife · 25th Jul 2012, 10:47 AM

Hey everyone!

A little bit about me:

- Out to everyone but my parents
- Currently a lifeguard but starting paramedic training soon (at Coventry University, UK)
- Very sporty and love a good laugh

A few reasons why I am not out to my parents:

- My dad scares the shit out of me. He is very anti LGBT and I do not know how he would react
- My relationship with my parents is very fragile
- I dont have a very good support network as my closest friends are gay and dont understand how hard this sort of thing is.

A few reasons why I joined Empty Closets:

- Get some advice on coming out
- Make some friends
- Have a laugh

So thats me!

Welcome Sweets! I hope you feel comfy here, sit down and have a cup while you divulge your every secret to us... Or, that, in a less than creepy way.

Well howdy! Dads are definitely the hardest to tell (in my experience), but they can surprise you (also in my experience). Welcome to EC!
