My introduction

Hello. Welcome. Enjoy the journey

Welcome! Though I wasn't in a relationship at the time, I was very similar to you in how I was raised and thus suppressing my feelings. I was about 21 when I really admitted it, and 23 when I first came out officially as gay to a friend. It's a shame we live in a world where we are taught it's not normal and end up suppressing what ends up being very normal once we come to terms with it, but unfortunately some of us do go through that struggle. The good news is you've realized while still fairly young, and seem to have some options with your friend. Good luck in getting everything worked out.
