    Well... I came out to my mom today,and she took it pretty well. She thought I was joking because that's in my personality but after 5 minutes she knew I was serious. After we talked for a while she called her pastor just to talk and pray. She goes to a very forward thinking church and the pastor she spoke with even starred in a play revolving around gay culture.

    NOW, what do I do next I really want to meet more gay men. I mean I don't just want sex or anything but I would like to meet some guys like me. How do you go about doing this?

    muahaha. Posting here + LGBT Groups around your location.. I would look up for youth groups and stuff! Ask your mom, if you could join one. Or even one at your school :slight_smile:

    First of all, congratulations on coming out to your mom! Great job!

    As Andrew mentioned, joining a GLBT group in your community would be a good way to meet and get to know some guys. Also, if you are still at school, check out if your school/college has a GSA.

    Well done! Try looking up any school/campus LGBT groups, support groups, youth groups etc.

    How old are you? (Hopefully not too old - the idea of someone aged 40 going by "pookie" is unnerving for some reason. :grin: ) If you're over 18, the easiest thing is to run a Google search for "San Diego gay (activity)", trying out several activities that interest you. Cooking? Volleyball? Biking? Gardening? Try it out, see what sorts of things come up.

    It's an affectionate term, like "Baby" or "Schnookims." <3
