    Hey, y'all!
    My name's Parker, I am a nonbinary lesbian. I'm out to my teammates, but trying to come out to my parents didn't go well. I'm here looking to meet more LGBTQ+ people, just so I have other LGBTQ+ friends. One of my friends is bi(curious? she's not sure) and another is panromantic, but those are the only 2 LGBTQ+ people I'm friends with, so I'm here.

    Hello Parker, and welcome to the community. I am sure you will find others with whom you can start a friendship. Feel free to post on the forum and share your experiences with others. I'm sure you'll find a few members who can relate.

    Hi Parker, welcome! Glad your teammates are OK with it. (What sport?) I can say from experience that being on a good team (school, club sport, whatever) is like a second family. Sometimes a first.
