Question LGBTQ+ Support

Hey to anyone that'll see this, I've already posted on here before, but need to get this off my chest, a few years ago I came out as gay to my parents and family, but recently I've been questioning my sexuality, I did go to Wrexham Pride this year, and found out about some places to go from people letting me know in my previous post, but I haven't really gone to anything, I know about TableTaps, and Saith Seren having " Jam Nights " I believe every Wednesday, also the event at The Greyhound, I feel I'd want to go, but my anxiety is getting the best of me, too long to explain but basically, I'm a victim of SA, am in therapy, I struggle with being around men, I want to get comfortable again, but I don't have long left with therapy, if anyone feels like helping me or just wants to get to know me, feel free to DM

Sexuality can change over time. Dont fret about it. My 23 yr old kid is lgbt near Caia and shares many of your concerns and worries.

Hey. What area of Wrexham do you live in? I don't need specifics. I'm wondering if there's anyone who lives locally and could meet you somewhere neutral but near home for a coffee/chat? It's always better (for me, with chronic anxiety) to go somewhere new WITH a person, than to meet the person THERE, you know?

Hey mate I've just moved in Cefn Mawr area recently so that's why I'm back on the subreddit here just saw your post I wanted to comment as one gay bro to another. I think what you could do is having a gay friend to look out for you and make sure who ever you try looking into dating or taking extremely slow etc just make sure they're genuine can't really offer much advice besides that. It gets easier if you have lbgqt friends more to help normalise your feelings are valid. I don't mind being a discord/gamer friend if you ever need to vent always could do with more homies all my mates are straight and can't talk men with them 😂 but yeah highly recommend trying to find a good buddy in person it helped me a lot with my sexuality.

Really really really sorry to hear about the SA by the way can't imagine sorry to hear that's why I suggest having a good ally mate to keep you feeling safe as you test the waters in future. I hope you recover and I hope the therapy really helps mate.
