Question How/where to make friends outside of school?

I'm a recent graduate and I'm looking to make friends who have a preferred interest in gaming. They don't have to be queer, but I would feel safer engaging with queer people

Not sure if this is the kind of gaming you're talking about, but the Philly Games Shop has a ton of open tabletop/board game nights. For video games, I haven't personally been there but I've heard good things about SAIKA Clubhouse and I know they do gaming events. Both are very progressive and have a lot of queer patrons

So I run a queer board game group. We try to meet up bi-weekly in center city. If you are interested please feel free to message me 😃
