Hello! This will be my first post on GC.

I want to start things off by sharing that I am basically "out" to all of my immediate family and close friends. (This was my own doing.)

Not a single person I've told thus far has had much trouble accepting it; in particular, a few of my friends have been very accommodating from the start.

I have a LGF, if I understand the term correctly. (She's just a little girl in my life with whom I share a special connection). Everyone close to me knows I've fallen for her, and, as far as I can tell, this knowledge doesn't make them uncomfortable in the slightest.

Judging from what I've read, I'm presuming that as far as GLers go, I have a particularly open situation when it comes to others knowing about my pedosexuality. Is this presumption incorrect?

Finally, here's an observation: from personal experience, I can basically tell any friend of mine under the age of 20 that I'm a pedo and expect to be met with full understanding and acceptance.

The youngest few generations tend to be drastically more liberal and open-minded in their views on social issues. I have complete faith that over time, western society will change to fit these more open-minded and liberal views.

I'd like to thank Baldur and the rest of the GC committee for welcoming me to this board.
