Hello...
The automated system suggested I introduce myself here. lol.
So I will. I'm male, almost 40, but I think I look pretty young... as does my gf ... and my sister. I am gay-adjacent since my sister is lesbian, and my girl is bi. I'm a lifelong democrat. I used to debate politics a lot more, but I gave up when I realized how hard it is to change minds with facts and truth.
My sister suggested I join and actually post here rather than just observe. So I am....
So this is a great bastion of sanity and intelligence. Thanks to everyone for the information and ideas here. And I hope to take part a little.
= new reply since forum marked as read
I was a long time lurker myself until late last year.
Lots of GREAT people here!!!!! 
That's one of the perks for registration 
Welcome!
I think you'll like it here.
I keep looking at your avatar and I think to myself, "Wow, that's the youngest looking 40-year-old silhouette that I've ever seen!"
Hope you find this corner of the interwebz to your liking.
