How to make more LGBTQ+ friends Making more queer friends sounds easy, but it can be surprisingly hard. Our increasingly isolated digital world doesn’t help. Enter Collective, a thriving online community that helps you find new gay friends both locally and abroad. Try these tips using the app to grow your circle. Support the arts You don’t have to be an artist to form friendships through art. Use Collective to find drag shows, photography exhibitions, or open mics in your area. Introducing yourself to a person at an event for an artform you love can easily turn into going to the next one as buds. Start something new Have a niche interest like B-Horror, bee-keeping, or blowing glass? Whatever it is, start a club that meets virtually or in-person. Post on Collective to spread the word and find friends to nerd out with. Let the world know Tell friends far and wide that you’re looking for more LGBTQ+ friends. There are many queers in the same boat. All it takes is sharing a text post on Collective that you’re looking to go dancing or bouldering, and watch the comments pop off with gays keen to join.
