I feel so out of place in every gay circle and I’m not sure why that is. Is it because I’m a somewhat masculine dude? Is it because I’ve never had sex before? Is because I’m a bit sheltered? I just like boys. Help me out here. How do I fit in?

I feel the same way. The only queer friends I have are older so I’m already a bit othered, but being a straight-passing virgin isn’t helping

Also being a POC makes this even more prominent for me

I have flat effect, I'm colored, and introverted, for this reason, I don't enjoy being in "queer" spaces

dedicated queer spaces tend to have a particular vibe, yeah. friends who happen to be in a similar situation are amazing but not really the easiest thing to find

Dude I just started trying to make irl queer friends a few days ago. Literally all of mine throughout high school were online.
