    I'm in high school, and only out to my friends + family. So basically, I am in the archetypal "have like three queer friends and 80 billion straight friends" trap.

    Luckily, only one of them hesitated to introduce me to her other best friend because of our corresponding sexual orientations!

    How did you go about meeting other queers in high school? Is it any different in college?
    Bonus selfish q: What if your GSA is super tiny and like 3/10 regular members are [openly] gay?

    No GSA in my school and I live in a pretty homophobic place.

    I guess you could say we're in similar positions. I only know another queer person at my school even though I have my suspicions for some others, too. We were introduced to each other by a common friend. I suppose it's still pretty early and many haven't accepted themselves yet or are deep in the closet.
    I'm sorry I couldn't be any help. I can relate, though.
