Title: Hello! I am AFriend
Post by: AFriend on August 04, 2018, 08:14:28 PM
Hello, everybody.  As the name implies, I am AFriend.   ;D
I am a cis-gender gay man.
I am here to be an ally, to make friends, to share my experience, and to learn about others' experiences.
I have very limited exposure to the LGBT community in general.  I must ask that you forgive my limited knowledge and understanding sometimes.  I am very open-minded.  Please talk with me!

I also need somebody to accommodate me to another forum where I talk about politics with people.  There are no trans men or women there, and I need somebody to help me fight off some ignorance.  So if you are a spirited individual who is good at telling other bigoted minds off, PLEASE let me know!
