    Hi. I am a brand new member and am a 39-ish Gay Man. I live in a small suburb and at the present time have only one friend and my family does not really have much to do with me. I do not know any other GLBT people here where I live and there is no Gay Community here so I am turning to the internet to try and make new friends and other GLBT people. I was once out when I lived in a much larger city and now am mostly not out in the small suburb I have been living for the last 6 years, though I am out to some people. Health has prevented me from traveling to the larger surrounding city's in which there are other alternative lifestyle people. I have been Disabled since the age of 21, and have both Chronic Mental and Physical Illness' which I will not fully go into at this moment, though I look forward to talking to the members here and hope that maybe I can encourage some others and be encouraged when I need it myself (which I suppose is the purpose of this forum). Hope everyone is having a good weekend or week which ever when you read this-Thanks for taking the time to read this post.
