So I got homework from my therapist for the week, she really wants me to connect with other queer people on a wider level, like going to pride or something like that. She also told me I should ask here, she thinks Hexbear is really cool. As someone who was raised as a christian in a heavy red state, I've never been socialized with other queer people. I have no idea where to go to meet more queer people. I feel like this is my entry stage into organizing. What do y'all do?
Lots of younger queer groups have a discord. You can get to know people before meeting them in person. Also helps filters out groups filled with gay but shitty people.
Pop in and see if you vibe. Low risk, and they'll probably have information on meetups.
