Hey Stonewall

Hi there,

I hope this is both in the right forum and is appropriate.

This has been a long time coming.

A bit about me:
-I found out about Stonewall Fleet on Brandon's blog quite some time ago
-I am currently closeted and am more comfortable about myself online
-I joined STO at launch and am a lifer, though I have only really been playing it lately, like the past three months or so
-Aussie
-Nerd

I am contemplating joining this fleet, I am currently in a real nice one, but wish I could be a bit more open about myself. It's not that I scream "gay, gay, gay" in games, its just that I am really getting into STO and would like to be a little more myself in the place that I am spending a fair amount of time.

I'm on STO a few hours a day, but am still such a newby (I don't know the benefits of this shield over that, or plasmas versus phasers) Every time I say I want to do a STF I get an excuse from my current fleet, "I am full, but am keen for next time" "I have to get my groceries", I would like a crew that could help me with that too.

I don't know what I am asking you peeps. Just want to see if Stonewall is for me.

Cheers mates,
Chris

Well sug. I know that Stonewall would LOVE to have you. Its totally important to us (and by us im speaking 4 myslef, but i know everyone else agrees....or else :P ) that you are comfortable. Honestly the biggest goal for this fleet (4 me agian) is exactly for ppl that need a place to just be themselves.

I know when i lived with my rents i was completely in the closet, but if i would have know these great guyz-2 give me support, 2 listen, 4 advice...well these things are important.

If these things are what you are after then right here is where you will find them here. Plus we are pretty good at just being fun.

Take it from me Chris, I was scared of just approaching a Gay fleet even though i desperately wanted to be with people like me. Im glad i met these people.

xoxoxo,
Caleb

I'd say something but it would only be a a restatement of the quote above. Welcome someone is always on and willing to help in this fleet, if you need anything let me know.

This place is great, matey. By far the best community for STO i've seen.

Sweet. ;D

Also agree with Caleb below... in Stonewall, you're welcome to be yourself, gay or otherwise. The fleet is so strong and supportive that we do have straight members as well.

Joining the fleet added an entirely new dimension to STO for me. I've met some really amazing people that ordinarily, I never would have. What's especially cool is meeting folks from around the globe; most with many shared interests that again, you do not often find or have access to. I'm like the only guy that likes Star Trek where I live... but here, I know I'm amongst not only friends, but in a way, extended family.

Give it a try. You'll be glad that you did.

I understand, the internet can be a good and healthy way to stick one toe out of the closet. I don't think I'd have been able to come out at all otherwise.

Peace, and welcome.

Cheers all, that is super kind of you all! :)


...Also, :voy: is the best!
