Welcome to the SBG forum Walt, just jump right in and make yourself at home. There are several gay SBG on this forum, and you're right it doesn't matter, this forum is all about helping each other. So of course we (I) would encourage you to go ahead and shave it off, but only when you are truely ready to do it. If that means you need to hang out for a while to build up the courage, or the right person just happens to post something that hits close to home and that is what finnaly pushes you over the top to shave your head, it doesn't matter, as long as it is the right decision for you to make in your own time.
