Meeting gay peopleYou're probably not the only gay in the village. It seems to be the case that around one in twenty to thirty people are gay. That doesn't mean you're going to fancy the boy in 9E just because he's gay too, but it can be nice to know he's there!

Finding other gay people can depend on where you live. If you're in rural parts, it's not impossible, but can be harder to find other like-minded individuals. This is partly because the pressure not to reveal non-straight sexuality tends to be greater. It's also because there are fewer people around.

In urban areas, there will probably be more obviously gay people. Still, in both cases, if you can't yet go to the bars, or even if you can, for that matter, it can be tricky finding other gay people you'll get on with, become friends with - or even fancy. But it can be done.

Rural Devon. Nuff said. The most annoying thing though, is that I know a guy who's also gay who lives very near me - and he gets through boyfriends faster than a politician lying!

I hate to be the odd one out, but when I came out to my friend I suddenly realized...wow there's a lot of gay dudes in this city. But then again it IS a city so there tends to be more diversity than some other areas, plus the gay dance club was right down the street from my school and the gay sex club(yes I'm not kidding and it's not a mistake, don't confuse it with prostitution though) was also not too far away.

Canada is a little better kus there is less homophobia 
but it's fucking hard to meet anyone at allll 
seriously its almost impossible, i'v only ever met TWO people that are gay my age ish (im 16), and I don't like either of them 
I've never even talked to one of them 
Vancouver Canada anyone?
