hi everyone, nice to be here.

Hi. I'm new and just wanted to say hi. I'm really glad this forum is here. It's a place I can feel safe being myself. I'm lesbian, and would like to make friends with other GLBTs. I've had some back luck with the women I've met in the outpatient group I go to, so it'd be nice to make friends with some other women online.

hello violet, welcome.

i think we have at least a few lesbian members here!

i'm pansexual myself.. currently in a relationship with a male, haven't had luck with women either.

anyway. i'm glad you found pc, this is a great place to be.

Hi violet! Im bisexual, so I can relate!

Nice to meet you!

hi and welcome! i used to identify as a lesbian until i realized i'm really an FTM transgender and now consider myself somewhat pansexual.

glad you found this place

Dear Katie Kaboom, Rainbowzz, and Justin Lucas,

Thank you all so much for responding to my thread. I've thought about maybe being bisexual, but I don't know. I'm not the best with accepting my sexuality, but I'm trying. I've signed up with chemistry.com, and as soon as I post pics of myself there, I'll be trying out their service. The first girl they've matched me with is pretty cute, so I'm hoping things work out!

How are things here? What do you like and not like?

I'm bisexual, and I'm quite happy to be your friend.

Hi Violet,

Although I am not gay, I have many family members who are, including my daughter

Coming to grips with your sexual orientation, especially if it is not the "acceptable" one, is very difficult. I know both my daughter and my brother struggled in the beginning. My brother though is now in his early 40's and has by now come to understand and even embrace his orientation.

My daughter though, says that if gay or straight were "really" a choice, she probably would have chosen straight. And I am sure you can see why.... I think it is because she sees it as "easier".

But you are who you are, and finding someone to love and happily grow old with is difficult, for everyone. Made especially so (I think) for GLBT, because of the smaller numbers and the attitude of some very vocal members of our society.

But remember, every good relationship will take work to make it a great relationship. So when your work to finally find that special someone pays off, don't forget to keep working to keep the relationship strong.

By the way.........I am happy you are here too. Welcome
