you guys i swear i love magy its great ive been there for almost 4 years now i never want to leave thank god i started at 13 now i have 3 more yrs there anyway yawll r great
THANK YOU MAGY!!!! If not for finding MAGY when I first came out, I don't think I would have been able to accept myself quite as well as I have. I would not have met the most amazing, true friends I've ever had, and I'm not 100% sure I'd even still be here with the mindframe I was in when I thought I was seriously alone out there.
Thank you magy. You save lives, minds, and families. For every kid that has ever walked through that door or ever will, I know MAGY has made an invaluable difference.
Hey MAGY. I'm a straight teen, but i'm an avid supporter. What you have going here is great. Ya'll offered me help not too long ago even when you didn't know me. And i really really appreciated that. I may not be gay nor bi, however i would like to come to a meeting on Friday night or something to that effect. I'd bring someone who could really need this pick-me-up for themselves. Again, thank you for all the support you give. MAGY's truly -Russ
