    I'm a 35 year old woman who is coming to terms with not being straight after a couple of years of questioning. I'm also starting a coming out process at this ripe old age and taking steps to connect with the queer community online and in my area. After being convinced that I was straight for so long and having built this whole self image and public identity around it, the shift has been very confusing and awkward. Even though many of my friends are not straight, I'm only out to a few. I'm so glad to have found EC!
