    Hey! I'm 28 and probably a little late to the game, I've identified as bisexual since I was 15..but never did much to explore that.. But looking back I think I've known I was gay much longer. I think I figured if I ignored it it'll go away.. turns out it didn't work too well lol..
    It's taken a long time to get to this point and I still have a long way to go but eventually I'm sure I'll get there. Looking forward to using this group as I go, so relieved I've found somewhere like this, where I'm anonymous.

    Hi and welcome to EC! :slight_smile:

    You’ve come to the right place. There are quite a few people here who have discovered their sexuality (relatively) later in life. I hope you enjoy EC and find the support that you’re looking for.

    Hi Amy!!

    Welcome to this wonderful community. I’m in the same situation as you pretty much. Also 28 & Identified as bi for many years but have known I’m gay and now identify as such!

    Hope you find this forum as comforting as I have knowing there’s so many people in the same boat. Always happy to chat if you feel like it!

    -Amz ❤️

    It's never too late! Though I understand what the term gay meant and that I was gay at the age of 16, I fully accepted it and came out to a few supportive friends only at the age of 27. So don't worry about when you've started accepting yourself and accepting things. :slight_smile:. Welcome to EC!
