    Hi, all! I'm Anna. 20 years old (21 in two weeks), working on a BA in American Sign Language Interpreting, and trying to survive life at a fundamentalist Baptist college.

    I'm a proud lesbian, and I've been out since age 14. I'm somewhat back in the closet now because of the religious and political atmosphere here. A few very supportive faculty members and a handful of fellow students know.

    I'm in a relationship with the most wonderful girl I could have ever asked for, and I'm happy. Keeping it a secret is tough, but it's a small price to pay to be in love with someone who brings me so much joy.

    That's pretty much my life right now. Nice to meet you guys! :icon_wink

    Hello Anna, nice to meet you. I know how it is keeping things secret, very difficult! We should definitely chat some time.
