    Hi.

    I have lurked for a while, but decided I would get more from the forums if I joined. I have the same story as many other people. Religious family, only been with men, and mostly in the closet.

    I hope that being apart of this community will help me gather the courage I need to get out of the closet.

    Welcome! It's always nice to see someone join who's been lurking for a long time :slight_smile: We know that we have about 10 times the number of readers as actual registered members, so it's great to see someone taking the plunge!

    Hope you'll stick around and join in the conversations!

    Thank you for the kind welcome.

    I probably should have taken the plunge and joined sooner. I was nervous for some reason, but I am so glad I joined.
