    Just thought I'd introduce myself.

    I am 23 from Georgia and I have the great fortune of being able to say I'm already totally out of the closet - one year now. Faced 100% acceptance with all of my friends and family. I had it about as easy as this situation gets AND IT STILL TOOK ME TEN YEARS TO DO even knowing that next-to-nobody that I knew would react negatively.

    However I came across this site and am so fascinated by the different stories, experiences, and preferences (from small details down to core characteristics) people have so it stands to be a great learning experience. Plus I have been in a really time-consuming job since I came out which has sort of hindered me from being able to explore my new self, a job which I finally quit at the end of the year. So I'm just here for exploration and banter really. I suppose many of us are.

    Sooooo :smilewave

    I wonder whether Georgia allows gay marriage or civil partnership.
    What is your previous time-consuming job?
    sorry for asking so many questions, just curious.

    :icon_redf Thx It is very helpful so far. Everybody seems so nice.

    Awesome! I see you're from Flowery Branch. I'm a big Falcons fan so I find myself up in there at least once a summer. Love it up there.

    Hehe I don't believe it does, but at this point in my life, it's not really what I'm after. I really have no idea what I want to do relationship-wise (in the long term) so for now I'm just going to kinda let it flow. I just left a restaurant management position. It's too early in my life to be working 60 hour work weeks :bang:.

    Hey welcome (although you joined before me haha)... I would not be surprised if it took me 10 years to come out! Let alone take me that long to figure out what I'd come out as.

    Anyway congrats ... on being out/quitting your job/joining this site/... and introducing yourself?

    Lol. Anyway hi.
