Early 20s lesbian here (still trying to get over my hangups with the L word, lol). I live in a woke area. I feel kind of terrified to talk about TQ topics at all, because I'm afraid of people freaking out at me if they find out my views (workplace is very woke). And lol. I have literally no idea how to find other LGB people. I haven't ever tried the mess that is dating apps so I guess there are some on there, but like you said, most are probably super TQ-friendly. I have a good support network of non-LGB friends across the country, which is very fortunate, some of whom even enjoy talking about LGB issues with me! And I recently made one lesbian friend who is TQ-questioning, hoping she can convince me to her several other LGB friends. Made a post about that recently if you search my post history.

Quite frankly, I have no game plan for meeting people romantically, lmao. I am actually not looking for people right now though, even if the pandemic were a factor; I feel like I have a ton to work on and would like to get to a better, less negative, place of acceptance regarding my sexuality before I start a relationship. My last relationship kind of just fell into my lap without me having to do much searching, it was very lucky.
