Step 1:
-
The scene
-
Traditionally the gay scene has consisted mainly of male-dominated bars and nightclubs. These days the scene is much more diverse, especially in larger cities, with more venues for lesbians, and venues catering for many tastes and persuasions. Many towns and cities also have gay magazines and newspapers which serve as a handy guide to the local scene.

Step 2:
-
The internet
-
Because of the internet more people are now able to get involved in the gay community than ever before. The beauty of the world wide web is that people can connect from anywhere, even isolated or rural areas where there is no gay scene to speak of. There are thousands of websites with information for gay people, and many that offer networking and dating services. The huge global success of websites like gaydar.com have helped create a thriving gay online community.

Step 3:
-
Alternatives
-
There are also many other activities and organisations that help gay people connect with each other. There are gay sports groups in most major sports, including sports with a traditionally heterosexual image like rugby and football. Many cities have other gay groups and clubs, like dining clubs, book clubs and theatre clubs just to name a few.
There are also many charitable organisations, such as PACE in the UK, who organise gay support groups and workshops. You may also want to consider volunteering for such an organisation to help get involved with the community. -
For more information on gay issues, there are many books available, as well as several other films on VideoJug.
