    Hi, I'm Jay. This is my first time on a website like this. I just wanted to maybe make some new queer friends and talk to people that can relate. I'm 29, and I'm a huge nerd. I like Star Wars, Pokemon, & Transformers. I haven't had many other queer people in my life and I think it would be nice to meet some. I'm a cis gendered gay man. I joined this site because I have just recently watched Heartstopper and I've listened to some queer audiobooks and I would like to see some more queer joy in the world.

    Jay.....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.

    .....David :gay_pride_flag:

    What's your favorite Pokemon game? Mine would be Alpha Sapphire. I love how they weaved Mega evolution into the lore of gen 3. I have notice that there are many other new member referencing Heartstopper as well. Its a great show, wholesome is how I would describe it.
