    This year I joined my school's GSA. It it one of the largest clubs in school and they talk about LGBT+ issues. It is pretty amazing.

    I second Awesome. I'm in a GSA/LGBT+ group and the experience I have there is very nice and valuable. You don't even necessarily need to be out at all, you can just join and usually they don't question anybody. You meet a lot of people in the community and also can contribute to making a difference in your local area/school/campus regarding LGBT+.

    hey I'm in the same boat, new to being out as well. I think I did come to my group with the hopes and expectations of meeting someone. Needless to say that this didn't happen :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: However I have made some great friends and now I always have people to go around with a go with on nights out! Plus I've joined the committee as well so hopefully I can bring some change about as well. :grin: So overall a positive experience
