Finding Your Tribe: Making Lesbian Friends

Building a supportive circle of friends is just as important as dating. Here is how to find your people.

School Clubs (GSA)

If your school has a Gender Sexuality Alliance, it's the perfect place to start meeting like-minded peers.

Local Centers

Check if your city has an LGBTQ+ community center. They often host youth nights and social events.

Online Communities

Moderated online spaces (like ours!) can be great for connecting with people if you live in a rural area.

Why "Chosen Family" Matters

For many LGBTQ+ people, friends become family. These are the people who accept you fully, celebrate your identity, and support you through life's ups and downs.

Starting Conversations

It can be scary to say "hi," but remember: they probably want to make friends just as much as you do! Compliments, shared interests (badges, bands, books), and open questions are great icebreakers.
