Oh, my, Landgirl. Not cool! I'm so glad there are accepting churches that don't do that nonsense. How some hold onto 5 verses that are both Old...
How many others have struggled with family or handling the holidays this week? My girlfriend's mom reminded us how concerned for our souls she is...
Welcome to EC. It takes a lot to come to terms with feelings that have been suppressed for so long. Good luck on your journey. There are so many...
Your story sounds similar to my girlfriend's story. She would never have come out back home. It was when she had just moved to a very LGBT...
I live in an area that is very accepting for the most part, but I know when I traveled to Nashville last week my girlfriend and I got a whole lot...
There are online and phone counseling programs if you can't get to an in person one easily. No good LGBT counselor will think it's just a phase....
I was divorced before I came out, so I can't help with advice, but I can off up how I told my ex husband for some comic relief... My ex always...

We have looked at rings together online. She has a few she likes, but also isn't sure on the whole two rings thing. She wants both, but doesn't...
Okay, so my current relationship is getting serious and I'm considering engagement rings. I know she's been looking for me, too. I want both of us...
