    Hopefully I am putting this in the right place!

    I'm running into a problem meeting people both online and irl. I am newly out, about 6 weeks. I dealt with my sexuality on my own very slowly over 30 years of hiding in a straight life. I am at a point where I am okay with me, anybody who doesn't like it can go away until they stop hating and my sexuality is simply another part of what makes me who I am. I'm fairly settled in myself and just live my life. What I am finding is what I was expecting but have no clue what to do. Other lesbians who have been out for a long time won't have anything to do with newly out girls, can be hostile when they find out or just stop talking. What to do besides wait 5 years to prove myself?

    You probably can find women who are more like you and will become your friends more easily. It must be doable :slight_smile:
