    Just out of curiosity, how'd you come across this site?

    I'm not actually sure how everyone might come across this site, so I listed a few options I thought possible. I found it by looking online.

    I think someone made a thread like this already.

    I had a big panic when I first came out, and I started looking up how other people accept themselves and the LGBT community and stuff. I think I joined properly a few weeks after that

    I found it by reading a Gay (or LGBT) sub-Reddit posting in Reddit.com. It was recommended. Glad I found it.

    A couple of friends advised me to check out this site when I told them that I am gender fluid. Thanks Gay1234 and TheBiBoy

    When I was questioning I just started looking up stuff about sexual orientation trying to figure myself out, and I somehow ended up here.

    I honestly have no idea. I guess I just stumbled in on it by accident and decided "why not join".

    To be honest, I don't know - I can't remember.
    I'll tell you one thing though. I'm so glad I did.

    I was doing research for my EPQ project. (I chose to do about the LGBT+ community, because I hoped I could survey some of my friends and see if they'd hate me if I came out.) I ended up here somehow, and I used it as my main source of information regarding real life stories and stuff. I intended to leave when my project was done, but I stayed because for the first time, there were people I could talk to. :slight_smile:

    I did a search for "coming out of the closet lgbt community" on a search engine. This site was the 3rd result.

    I came across EC in an attempt to find a forum where I could be part of the community, and that I could learn from to better myself as a teacher.

    I specifically looked up sites for LGBT people on Google, and found this place.

    I wanted a forum to go to. I love forums. Unfortunately I've run into people and had arguments at some. For instance, one anime forum had some jerk saying no one is bisexual. It's good to see people who are bi, or at least believe it is a real orientation.

    I was about to enjoy my internet soup bowl when suddenly I noticed a bunch of html on it.
    It was called EC.

    Like many things in life, I happened to of stumbled across it randomly and I just went with it.

    Random questions about things from handedness to sexuality, you name it I kept being brought here so I thought I might as well sign up.
