First off it is very important that you understand our online forums are a place we have created for others to go for advice when going through rough times in life. With that being said our online forums are a judgment free zone. By creating account or posting on the online forums you agree to be judgment free to anyone posting on the site.

A little bit about me:
I was born July 29th 1988! (Ugh, I feel so old!!) I grew up in Arkansas, the LEAST LGBT friendly place on the face of the earth. After coming out I faced more challenges than I ever thought possible, yet I still made it through everything. I came out to my mother in 2007. Upon coming out I was immediately kicked out of my house, and disowned by my entire family. My mother wanted nothing to do with me, my extended family IE: Aunts, uncles ect... Still to this day want nothing to do with me. My brother has pretty much disowned me as well. In 2007 I moved away from home, to Orlando Florida, where I spent years working for Disney, I moved away to try and get away from my family and everyone who was bringing me down. I just wanted to go some where, where I could be myself. I ended up getting involved with someone who for the 2 years we were dating I knew we just were not meant to be together. Heartache, abuse, cheating... all of that took place in that period of time. After that I became involved in another "long term relationship" which again was nothing but heart ache, abuse, and cheating. Finally I got out of the relationship and vowed to stay single till the day I died. Like an abused dog I went back home to my mothers feeling defeated and useless. Of course my mother never had anything nice to say, and when anything bad happened to me in my life my mother said "That's what you get for being gay. I don;t want to hear about it." So now here we are in 2014... I have met the LOVE of my life. Everything is simply perfect. . . It is that relationship I had always dreamed of... I can't believe it happened to me. I had sworn off relationships, but now Matt is all I want... And I can not be more happy. I then decided to take all my previous experiences, and heartaches in life and use them to help others who may be going through the same situations in life. I am living proof that even though times may get rough, it WILL get better. . . I have now dedicated my life to ensuring that EVERY member of the LGBT Community knows that there is someone who cares, and it will get better. In early 2014 I decided I wanted to create a non-profit organization dedicated to helping members of the LGBT community. That is when I came up with the idea for LGBTSupport.org a place where people can come for support, and a place where your voice makes a difference. I look forward to watching this grow, and watching you all build friendships, and support networks that will continue into everyday life for you!!
Enjoy, and let us know if you need anything!
