Hi Everyone, I've been lurking for a few days now and this seems like a great community to join, so now here I am! My name is "Jeph" (phonetic spelling of my real name), and I live in the Phoenix metro area. This year has been a roller coaster ride for me. For the first time in my life I voluntarily came out to someone (I was outed once before many years ago but thankfully it was contained). It's gone well so far, though I still have a tall mountain to climb. But I am hopeful--more so than I've ever been in my life. Despite all the setbacks this year has been a huge progress for many reasons. It may sound incredible but just joining this forum is a huge step for someone like me who was afraid of even being part of any LGBTQA community, anonymous or not. Looking forward to getting to know you guys!
