    Hey y’all, don’t really speak Spanish outside of what Dora taught me as a kid, but I do love that greeting lol. Came here when I was 22, after first questioning myself. Hadn’t needed to question myself until I was 26. Now at 27, it’s better late than never to focus on figuring all this stuff out. Looking forward to being more active.

    Hello and welcome to EC! Glad you're here and taking time to figure yourself out. It's never too late to be your true self. I'm 39 and finally taking the time to look at who I really am. So, welcome and hope you enjoy your time here. Everyone has been helpful.

    Bicchi.....Hello and a great big LGBTQIA+ welcome back 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 night 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 you support 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 I first joined Empty Closets I was in need of a lot of support and encouragement and I found it here…EC is a safe place. I hope that you'll find good things here too! Folks here will talk to you and share...you don't have to be afraid of asking questions...we're glad to have you! Empty Closets is all about making connections and giving LGBT folks a voice when they otherwise don't have one in their day-to-day lives.

    Some info on how to navigate EC:
    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 always send me a Private Message.

    That's cool you're working on yourself again and I hope it helps. Think about sexuality as a scale from 0 to 6. I'm 6, fully into dudes. If I thought I might be able to be into a certain woman for some reasons, I know I'd always be much more into and compatible with her similar looking and personality brother or male friend I'd much rather be with than her. Maybe you're in the middle, 1-5, so bi of some flavor and that's very common in reality, I think more than most people let on.
