The Guide

You may want to find new friends and take part in events and activities in the gay community.
Volunteering in the community has helped many guys meet new people and become a part of their new community. Some choose to volunteer in cultural organizations and meet people from their own community. However, these organizations might not be gay friendly spaces. Try calling or emailing first. Ask them if they have any gay and bisexual groups or services.

If you want to meet other gay or bisexual men, you can look for gay, lesbian, bisexual and trans (LGBT) organizations in your area. If there aren’t any, try your local AIDS service organization (ASO). ASOs may also provide gay, lesbian and bisexual programming.

If you are a university student you can also check out school LGBT groups.
