I have a young gay friend who is at their wits end trying to find others in their community. They are, understandably, reluctant to use the Internet for this purpose. We live in a very rural and conservative part of America.

If you have any practical guidance for them then, please let me know. I will be very happy to pass it along to them.

Thank you.

If they can, they should relocate. There are lots of benefits to being in a metropolitan area. There are lots of downsides, too. But, coming from a conservative area in my formidable years, I was shocked at the permissiveness when I got to the Bay Area. I have no desire to leave (other than it being attached to the USA). I might relocate to another country. We'll see in November.
