Howdy, I'm 25 and have just come to the self realization that I am a homosexual man. I came out of the closet, told the friends, family some co-workers etc. That was surprisingly easy. The funny thing now is that I don't really know where I stand. I've checked out some of the support groups, but they all seem to be quite teen oriented and focus on coming out advice. I've done all that but now I seem to be unsure of what exactly is the next step to take? As I'm in my mid 20s, what is the best place to meet other people in a similar situation? I'm based in Dublin. All advice welcome.
I'm actually in a similar situation. The vast majority of my friends are straight, and although I've come out, it's quite difficult to meet LGB people outside of college.
I wouldn't meet anyone online and I wouldn't go to a gay bar on my own either.

Sounds to me as if you’ve worked it out already and you don’t need support, so your next step is to get on with life to its full and be happy.
You’ll hear loads of arguments for the scene and an equal amount against it. Same with Gaydar and etc… my advice is trying them out yourself, as you sound as if you have a head on your shoulders and you’ll work out what you prefer. Best of luck.

Good advice. Yes I do have my head on my shoulders and I am a pretty down to earth, focused man. The thing is, and I mean no offense, but I don't act campy or have that stereotypical gay accent. I also don't share a lot of gay interests like fashion/celebrity gossip/music etc. I feel like a pretty normal guy who happens to like men. I feel totally comfortable with this. One of the comments above talked about the gay scene. So is this gay scene predominantly made up of the more campy element or is there a wider mix of people on the scene? Oh well, I'll guess I'll soon find out! I'm gonna take a pack of dispirin out with me to the G just to be safe!
No offense taken! I’m not camp…… neither is my partner….. we both love rugby and just one look at me and you’d know that I don’t do fashion.
Wouldn’t go down the NORMAL road if I was you, one mans Normal is another mans Camp etc. Mate we all feel normal, it just depends who’s looking! I don’t do the scene anymore been there bought the T-shirt but it’s like all of life, it can reflect all flavors. Go have a look and if you don’t like it, then vote with your feet.
There are loads of groups that you can join too, as was stated in one of the posts.
Bet there’s loads of like minded lads out there just hoping to meet a guy like you too. 0 -

I'm on the same situation. I'm out to pretty much everybody I know in Dublin. But all my mates are straight, not even one gay friend in Dub... Yeah, one of my straight mates says he wouldn't mind going out with me to places like Front Lounge, Panti Bar or The G (never been to any of them though), but it's not the same. Besides, he's hot and would pull
And I missed the queer beers last saturday 0 -

I was just thinking the same thing actuallyThere's enough of ye in this thread alone to meet up for a few beers.
It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.
