Reading a post this morning, Grasshopper stated that this is the 10th anniversary of the Matthew Shepard murder (sorry for the strong words. It is simply that. A murder.).

While we have come a long way since then, I can only hope we will continue on in our lives, not having to hide who and what we are because of fear. I hid in that dark closet for almost 40 years trying to fool myself and everyone else I knew simply because of the fear of others either not accepting or hating me.

This website has been such an incredible help and outlet for so many of us, and I encourage eveyone to say 'hey and thanks' to Timmy for his incredible work and dedication to us all. If you can, I encourage you to make a donation to this site, to help Timmy expand its outreach and allow us to continue on as friends from around the world by coming here.

Let's also remember all of our helps and friends.. those who encourage us to be ourselves just as we are. Please support those people and groups... whether PFLAG, your local GLBT group or a national presence you appreciate... so they can continue on in their work for all of us.


Celebrate your life... embrace your love... Become intimate with your place in forever !!!

There are no age checks on this forum. If the law says you need (eg) parental consent to post here then you need that consent.
Frankly, we think such laws are silly. They do young people more harm than good. How can you possibly ask questions on a gay forum without coming out to your parents if you need consent?
So it is up to you. If you post here we assume that you are of legal age to do so or have consent if not, and we do not want to know any different
