Default My name is James

I live in West Texas where being gay is considered a sin. I am very closeted. I read some things on here that reminded me so much of the struggle that I have been through that I decided to join. It will be good to have someone to talk with.

James

Hi James,

I spent a lot of time in the closet and know what you are talking about. The first place I ever "came out" to anyone was on these forums. It good to just be able to talk to someone without being required to hide.

Please join in our discussion and let us know more about you.

Tu Amigo, Pablo
