I really want to have a group of gay friends to hang out with. How did you find your current group? Any advice for someone who’s new to the city?

Same here as a non-white, non-muscular, non-insta-influencer introvert finding it extremely hard to find gay (real) friends (in NYC)

Hey! I’m moving to NYC in 2 months, happy to connect :)

First year out of college, I went to community groups at the local LGBT center, LBGT meetup groups, and LGBT non profit meetings. I kept an open mind and shut off the judgmental part of my brain (90% of the people i met were not my tea). After a few months, I found a few people who are now my closest friends today.

honestly it was sports but that maybe works better for lesbians...i did play in a co-ed gay kickball league that was mostly guys though and a lot of cities should have something similar? maybe softball or soccer instead

Not really an option now, but I found lots of my closest gay (and straight) friends at concerts and music festivals. You can find the right people if you go to the right artists/stages

May be some of us can connect! Am based in NJ. 32 M

Hello Again NYC LGBTQIA+ Friends...

I have 2 VIP Tickets for Saturday @ 7:30pm at UBS Stadium for the Barry Manilow concert. These are VIP spotlight club tickets with unlimited food, snacks, drinks etc. You can also skip the line and enter through the VIP section.

If anyone is interested let me know. It's 2 tickets but if you're alone and want to go, I'm open to going, though the preference would be to give the pair of tickets away. Also includes VIP section parking if you drive.
