Hi everyone.
Sapphocrat told me about this forum and said I should come here and check it out. I am not LGBT but I really am trying to get out there and change people's views on the subject. Sapphocrat said I should get a feel for the place so I can better educate others. I would like to become a regular visitor to your board and hope you will welcome me with open arms.

Thanks!

Demgurl

1. Hey!
I liked your post the other day. I have learned a ton here. Everyone has been very kind as I learned my way around the issues. Just wanted to say hi from one ally to another. :hi:

4. Thanks, Muse.
If everyone is as nice as Sapphocrat then I will be fine here. Thanks for the 'hi' and I hope I will see more of you around here.

5. Anyone with the user name 'Ringo' is OK in my book.
I saw him twice in concert. I only got to see Paul once. I will never get to see the other two. Sapphocrat is fine and as sassy as ever. She is so smart and really knows how to turn a phrase. I think I could really learn a lot from her. She has already given me so much information. If I slip up just give me a nudge and tell me what I did. I am here to make friends and not to offend anyone in any way. I hope we will get to know each other better.

6. Thank you, William769.
I hope I will become a regular fixture here - as regular as I can be rasing two kids and tending to a husband.

8. Hi Demgurl!
Sapphocrat is a good reference to have. I'm immediately a friend of yours. :hi:

Welcome to the GLBT forum.

15. Hi ThomCat.
I had no idea she was held with such high regard. She does seem like a very nice person. Thanks for being my friend and helping me stumble through this learning process.

I guess I should be completely forthcoming as long as I am here. I am very happily married and have two kids. I do think of myself as more bi-sexual than hetero. I have had a relationship with a woman and I do understand how frustrating it can be to be in public and not even be able to simply hold hands. On the other hand, I have only been with/dated men for the last 15 or so years. I have had a taste of your life but I have not lived it exclusively for all of my life. It must be very hard and I would like to make it a bit easier if that is possible. I may be bale to reach more heteros than many of you are able to. I think working closely together we can really change the perception a lot of people have and then we can change the laws.

Thank you for the welcome, I appreciate it.

10. Welcome!
I'm not GLBT either but I stop by to visit here often. You can learn a lot. Be careful though, some of them bite. :) :hi:

17. cat_girl25....
Sapphocrat told me they have all had their shots and so there is no harm done if they bite. ;) At least they have the consideration of getting their shots unlike some of the more unfriendly DUers or some of the fundies! I think I would rather get bitten by a GLBT any day. Thanks for the warning though. :hug:

I have my chair pulled up and I am making myself at home. I do respect your place so I am using a coaster for my drink. (and I am keeping my feet off the furniture!)

26. Hiya, demgurl!
Glad to see you jump in -- the water's fine. :)

And, everybody else... If you keep saying nice things about me, I'm going to lose my edge! (P.S. I'm lying. LOL)

29. Glad to see you here, demgurl!!!
And of course, in my book, anyone Sapph recommends come here, must be one hell of a good person. :)

Hope we can help you as much as you are willing to help us.
