For most of my adult life I've experienced a very intense, persistent sense of persecution. Before this year, I understood that there was...
Frankly, I probably scare some people. Although I'm not overtly hostile, I'm not very warm either. It doesn't help that I live in conservative...
Don't be scared! The shakes go away, for the most part. Things are still tough for me, and I'm quite far from being comfortable with these...
Welcome! I'm kind of new here as well. It gets a lot easier once you overcome your social conditioning to respond with fear to those 'scary gays'....
The only people I trust, and nominally at that, are those I've found online. It's kind of discouraging that I have to search the whole globe to...
Non-religious, born to a family of lapsed Catholics who ditched all the dogma but kept the guilt. Oodles and oodles of GUILT. So I suppose that...

My nick says it all--describing the intersection of two primary obsessions of mine. Hopefully you'll find plenty of people to talk to here on...
Welcome! No need to worry about rape jokes from me--not that I know any good ones, if there were such a thing. Some subjects just aren't very ripe...
:smilewave I am writing this from a small town in red state where there are more churches than coffee houses. I live with my family, my older...
