My name is Nathan Simko. This is my first post, yaaaay!!!!! I was born Nov 16th 1980 in Detroit, MI. #puremichigan lol I came out to my parents when I was 15 and was immediately told I would go to hell. My Christian parents completely botched the whole process and made every wrong decision in helping me. I spent the next 15 yrs living with self hatred and struggling with Christianity and homosexuality. It wasn't until around the age 31 after my second suicide attempt that through counseling I finally accepted myself and being gay. I did my first interview, a podcast with a friend and found telling my story liberating and empowering. I know I want to do either radio or podcasting to help LGBT youth in the future. Glad to be here and don't be afraid to say hi!!! Hugs

Wow! Welcome Nate! We are glad to have you on board! Your story hits very close to home with me. I dealt with similar situations when coming out! But we make it through, and use our past to help others! I have a feeling that you are going to be very helpful to us, and others on this site in the future! Thank you so much for sharing! As always, let us know if you need anything! ~Matt

Ya know Nate, I used to podcast a few years ago. Maybe this site needs a podcast? Hmmmmm, worth a thought. What say you Matt/Rae?
