I have a young gay friend who is at their wits end trying to find others in their community. They are, understandably, reluctant to use the Internet for this purpose. We live in a very rural and conservative part of America.

If you have any practical guidance for them then, please let me know. I will be very happy to pass it along to them.

Thank you.

I'd still use the internet, there's really not many other ways in a conservative area

Going out's fine but everyone is closetted, gaydar isn't perfect
