    Hi everyone!

    I’m a 22yo bisexual male from the UK, and I’ve come here fresh from finishing Heartstopper on Netflix! I loved it, and it made me realise something I’ve been thinking for a long time, that I’d like more friends from the LGBTQ+ community.

    My life is football (or soccer for any Americans), Formula 1, and I love TV/movies/music. If you can relate - or maybe even if not - it would be great to hear from you and get to know you better.

    ymott…..Hello and a great big LGBTQIA+ welcome to Empty Closets! :old_smile: I can remember the first post that I made on EC. I was desperate for help and I got the help that I so needed. I hope that we can help you in the same way that I received help. The most important thing to remember about Empty Closets is that we do care about you! We're very glad that you found us here on EC and hope that we can answer questions, give support if you need it and provide a place to vent (as long as it's not violent!) :old_big_grin: when that becomes necessary! There are 18 different sub-forums here that you can check out and join in the conversations or start your own thread/conversation.
    *****When you have made at least 10 posts on various threads you will be able to post messages on a member's Profile Page. Just click on a member's Avatar Picture and then click on "Profile Page" in the dialogue box that pops up. You'll then be on their Profile Page and there will be a box that says: "Write Something" When you have been on EC for a few weeks and have made at least 50 posts on various forums, you can apply for Full Membership. A Full Member can send Private Messages (PM) to other Full Members and share personal contact info. Right now you can only send a PM to a Staff Member as that is always possible. Here is a quote from the Full Membership information forum: :old_cool:
    *****
    To be eligible you must be a member of Empty Closets for a minimum of two weeks, and have a minimum of 50 posts. These posts must be across numerous forums (Fun & Games does not contribute to post count), and consistently posted across a minimum of two weeks. You wouldn't be eligible, for example, if you registered, had no activity for two weeks, and then returned to post 50 times on your 14th day of membership.
    *****Well, as I said, we're very glad you found us! :old_rolleyes: If you have any questions at all, you can post a question on my Profile Page or send me a Private Message.

    Welcome, I’m not much for sports, other than perhaps baseball. Though I must admit “Ted Lasso” has me considering checking out football.

    It’s on my list to watch that because I know I’d love it but I don’t have Apple TV!

    Welcome to EC! :slight_smile: I used to play soccer in high school, it was one of the few sports I could be a decent player in lol. It interfered with my guitar lessons though, and those were important to me.
