Let's see. I am 26 and identify as lesbian even though I prefer to just say I'm gay. Currently in a great relationship with my GF of two years and really enjoying every minute of it. I grew up in a relatively strict Jehovah's Witness household as an only child raised by my grandparents. I know first hand how rough it can be to come to grips with one's sexuality and religious indoctrination. Right now I'm just looking to talk to new people going through much of the same issues, namely family and their possible rejection of who and what I am. Mostly I'm just here for that special niche that let's you breathe and be whoever you are. Enough about me. What about you guys?
Welcome to EC, Clevername! You should be able to breathe easy here and give us a hand with this particular issue, religion and coming out!
I lived in Virginia and I have family there still! (WHERE exactly?) Well right now I'm in the Hampton Roads area near Norfolk. Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. Looking forward to meeting you!!
I also live in Virginia, and I'm kinda new to this website as well. So far this website has been great for me. You really can be yourself here without anyone judging you. I also understand that feeling of fear that your family won't accept you for who you are. I hope you have a wonderful experience on here, and if you ever want to chat just send me a message.
