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?

Clubs, pride or more so the pride committee or fundraisers. Grindr is for mostly hookups. Queer friendly / owned buisnesses. Look for the ๐ŸŒˆ flag. Owners management are usually connected to the more social side and might be able to suggest or point you to local events places. Coffee shops.

Clubs / buisnesses usually would have either a bullitien board with queer friendly meet ups, orgs, other queer friendly buisnesses, events. Be on the look out for pro queer news publications. They usually have tons of resources in the pages.

If you are in deep red land, try the next larger city. They might have local people and connections.
