    For a few hours now, I've been scrolling through threads, so engulfed in the community shared; just thought, it wouldn't hurt to join as well! :slight_smile:

    Hi! I'm Sarah (Joy is my middle name). I'm 17 and only this past year have I really confronted my not so straight sexuality. I'm excited to get to know some of you all! -- considering that the people who know about my orientation are straight, as I'm sure many of you can relate, it can be a bit isolating.
    I hope I will be able to give just as much as I know I can benefit from this forum.


    Thanks for the welcoming environment you've all created!

    Thank you guys!

    @greatwhale Sure! meant to put it in the post (my bad). Shlama Alokhoon is a greeting in Assyrian. It translates to "Peace be on you (all)"

    Welcome! I'm in the same boat, with having almost an entirely straight group of friends. I find this forum helps!

    PS Chicago is the greatest.
