Episode notes
Balance Gay And Straight Friendships
- Having some gay friends matters for shared lived experience and relatable frameworks.
- Straight friends also matter, so balance both perspectives in your social circle.
Cliques Make Friend-Making Harder
- Cliques and social gatekeeping exist in the gay community and can make meeting friends harder.
- Be selective about who you nurture and focus on relationships aligned with your values.
Use Shared Activities To Meet People
- Meet people through activities you enjoy like book clubs, sports, or online groups rather than only clubs.
- Start with casual meetups (coffee, walk) and avoid pressuring new acquaintances into formal plans.
