Realising that you are queer can be a really exciting time in your life, no matter how old you are.
However, it can also be a very daunting and often very scary experience.
During this time, it can be nice to have some like-minded people who are either going through or have gone through similar experiences.
The best way to
find
and get to know other queer people is usually by joining a local LGBTQ+ group or going to queer-themes events in you local area.
However, some people don't want to come out or, sadly, are unable to come out and be openly queer because it's not safe for them.
For those who can't or don't want to be openly queer and thus can't go to local queer meetups and events,
online chats a great way of meeting other queer people.
