I am 16 and I only have one gay friend and I wanna know some more gay people my age! I am sick of wishing I had friends and a boyfriend and other gay buds and I am ready to go out and find some!...although I am shy and a little self conscious...but I need to break the ice so I was looking on the web and found a bunch of youth groups and alliances in my area (Southern California) but I need to know how these groups are? Has anyone joined one?and are they for real?
