How to get gay friends?

[Mike]

You're pretty much in the same position as me. I only just started coming out and I want to have gay friends too so I don't make my straight friends uncomfortable when I want to talk about my boy troubles and whatnot. haha

Well, the first thing I did was join this site actually, in hopes of at least finding some gay friends online. Have you tried befriending anyone here yet? I know some people don't equate online friends with offline friends (I seem to be one of the few who do) but it's a start!

Hmm, I guess you could start doing that. As far as I know there aren't any of those things where I live. All I've tried are local gay chatrooms. I've been introduced to people too but most (all but one now that I think about it) only wanted sex. -_-"

Try coming out to your friend's friend! Maybe he can get you into his network of friends. The one gay friend that I have offline started introducing me to his gay friends recently so maybe your friend's friend might do the same. And in my opinion, that's one of the more safer options.

Umm... Israel is a small country, so I was able to find people I could get in touch with in the real life pretty easily... There's a gay forum in Hebrew that makes it possible.

I hope you two will find new gay friends. Mine are really awesome... They know what I'm going through, I have a common language with them, I can always bitch about other guys and drooling over some hot dude together is really fun(ny)...

By the way, if you wanna talk on MSN Messenger send me your MSN ID (I can't send PM's until I post at least 10 posts).

Try coming out to your friend's friend! Maybe he can get you into his network of friends.

This seems like the best way to go about it - they're in your vicinity, they're gay and that friend of a friend might be in your same situation. I'd go for it!
