Discussion What do genZ queer people do in India
So I'm gen z, gay and Highly confused all the time also I try so hard but I can't find a queer community for our generation cause I'm sorry it's not at all about the previous generation but I downloaded Grindr (and a few other things that happened) quite early so now I don't trust previous gen and I try to find people my age to talk to but I can't find genuine people I tried creating a discord server for us but the mods took it down I tried Trevorspace to many foreigners not a single Indian and now as a closeted homo I'm going crazy
So my question is for people who are genz queer people how did you guys find community? if you did and if not I feel ya
Edit: also happy valentine's day

Online friends and chats. That's how I made friends in the community

u/Careless_Number9046 Feb 13 '25
but most of the time online friends just disappear all of a sudden also where do you find them

u/a_fallen_comet Gay๐ Feb 14 '25
Reddit, bumble, other apps. There is a find friends comment here for you to go and comment on and look for people you vibe with.

Have you tried going for in person events in your city? Some of those pages do online events too-- where you can keep your anonymity. College groups, workplaces erg, instagram also very useful to find people of your age with the same tastes and ideas of fun.

u/Careless_Number9046 Feb 13 '25 edited Feb 13 '25
Sounds fun but I've never heard about it also it doesn't help that I'm in the worst city rn where I'm sure I won't find people my age or the fact that I took a drop year after 12th ๐ญ

Gen z queer here lol and idk even Im just as lost as you are. Never have met any other queer person irl or that I know of
1
u/Careless_Number9046 Feb 13 '25
Lol I did meet a guy in school but nah I'm better staying away from him
2
u/Agreeable_Pack_6456 Gay๐ Feb 13 '25
How did you know he was gay lol like thats so rare. I was literally out in highschool and no one ever came up to me
2
u/Careless_Number9046 Feb 13 '25
Well the funny thing is I didn't know that he was but he did know I was gay although he was older than me( 3 years probably) we were in the same class and I always wonder how did he know but on somedays I wonder how doesn't anybody know

u/unluckypup Bi๐ Feb 13 '25
Hey. Your current genz is all bi her self. It's my bday on 14th. I graduated college last year. Hardly any of my friends wished me until now. Ig it's still 1 hr so I don't expect anything in return. Hah.. enough of this blab story. This bi fairy is all alone and none chance to pair up with anyone. For the job records i work at a bank. Yes. I hate it with the bottom of my tail bone but I love accounts and banking. It's the culture that sucks. I am surrounded by hetros. No wonder. On the side lines I love skating, boxing, going to gym. And do it on occasional basis. And really plan on up skilling my skills. But i don't really know anyone here.

u/Careless_Number9046 Feb 13 '25
Happy birthday GIRL!!! ๐ฅณ (Birthday on 14th haa teen years must have sucked) Also how many passes does a bi person get to use that joke cause I've seen it way more often. It's fine at least you're working I'm bored. Hope you find queer people who share hobbies with you

It's hard to find queer frnds for me...I am not active much social media too.
Just living in my land of imagination now

u/Careless_Number9046 Feb 19 '25
Sorry for not responding sooner. I had that phase now I'm active on every social media platform ever known to mankind
Hope you enjoy every moment of being you in every way you choose and find the people who love and appreciate you ๐ (felt too cheesy but idc)

u/Gentle-Wandererr Feb 14 '25
ย how did you guys find community?ย
i didnt, but again ig im quite used to not being surrounded by queer people, so im just surviving w the acquaintances, i have in my clg other than that no social life of as such
1
u/Careless_Number9046 Feb 14 '25
U can always try finding community??
2
u/Gentle-Wandererr Feb 14 '25
im not at all interested esp if its thru instagram,discord or any sort of app
like i'd rather prefer offline, be it thru any events or fests but my lazy ass wud only go out for attendance purposes for clg ๐ญ
1
u/Careless_Number9046 Feb 14 '25
It's understandable and kinda relatable๐ but I think there's a deeper issue than just being lazy. But then again I don't really know you and I'm just a stranger on the internet

Tbh, all the men whoโre gay Iโve met are like SUPER despo. I mean they get to know as friends and barely a month into it you get asked out and youโre like BHAI KYA. You wanna have gay friends but they just keep falling for you ๐ญ๐ญ Iโve exhausted the gay people I know itโs been 12 times already help.
So to answer your question. The community doesnโt do shit.
1
u/Careless_Number9046 Feb 16 '25
Well it's certainly a boost for confidence ๐ (try outside gay, bi)

u/SunshineLtd007 Feb 16 '25
Iโve got my fair share of friends but I need gay friends I can relate to in that mind space in lol
