Thank you:) Honestly it's a strange thing -- I've been more and more out in College, but it's still a little strange to be public with stuff online especially.

I'm so happy this place is back up and running. A bright spot in 2020 for sure!
This is my first post on the plaza, though I was active many years ago. I'm a gay male, and my story is sadly one heard too often. Told to leave home at 18, no contact with family, etc. Years later, I'm doing quite well and am happy with my family of choice and friends. Happy to be here!

@Cellinion, I can't say I recognize your name from the Old Plaza, but it's wonderful to see you've found your way back to us nonetheless! I'm sorry to hear your story had a hard beginning, but glad you are doing well now, and you are so welcome here

@skekSil, thank you! Oh, I was not well-known on the Old Plaza. Can't tell you how great it is that someone got it up and running again. Cheers.

So yeah I figured I'd put my name in here.... I have an odd story I came out of the closet fairly late... I was 31 years old when I officially came out of the closet absolutely terrified (my parents used a ton of homophobic language growing up ALL the time) as pansexual.
Apparently they thought I was bi. Starting at about 15? Me. I was FANTASTICALLY CLUELESS until about 25 that I might even be bicurious but didn't think of the relationships I had at that point as more than college experimenting as this was the first time I was comfortable enough to do anything I wanted as I'd been away from the Land time forgot for long enough to get away from the social conditioning getting undone). Was not confirmed until 31... I decided to come out I was terrified like I wouldn't even let my parents unpack the car until I told them because I wanted to be able to leave asap if they didn't want me there anymore. (it's a 6 hour drive for me to visit my parents and I was ready to drive all the way back at midnight)
My dad when I came out with the comment. 'We knew you were AC/DC since you were 15.' And I was like then WHY WOULD YOU USE THE LANGUAGE YOU DID??? And they just blinked and went wait how we were talking made you think we'd hate you??? And that is the story of how 3 years ago my parents learned to stop using homophobic language over night because they had NO idea that was why I wouldn't tell them immediately that I was dating a woman (they found out almost 7 months later and a WHOLE 2 week before I proposed to her - that turned into a shire show and didn't happen but that's fine)
So yeah I am a pansexual polyam MOSTLY Cisfemale (I have agender days)

Gonna do a quick bump of this thread to tell everyone here that I love them and the way they feel about themselves is completely valid

I love, love, love Boromir with all the flags, but the inclusion of trans and ace ones makes me really, really happy - Points: 4 293

It was only a few years ago that I learned that there was more than one flag! I love all the colors and varieties and meanings to them all
