Laddies, lasses and lassos of LGBTQA+ community

So, I have been wondering, how many of us got out of the closet while the forums were gone?
I had a rough idea that I was definitely into girls and a bit into boys (not just aesthetically) back then. I tried to come out as bisexual but my dad was against it and told me to not mention that nonsense in front of anyone. I got into Wicca (the community one with mentorship) when I was rebelling in school but I ended up finding a kind community of women who were kicked out for being attracted to women and/or being trans. Through OneTopic and TheClick's communities, I finally got the confidence and support I always wanted. I am finally out of the closet and a lot of people in my family accepts it. I think some of them need more time, they are all kind people and have never been homophobic. They just didn't expect it from me.
