I thought I was making new friends who were interested in hanging out with me because I'm the smartest, coolest, funniest, and most humble person in the existence of gaykind but sadly that wasn't the case. I was so desperate to make gay friends in the city and have a crew to call my own that I overlooked clear red flags. ![]() Being recently out, I was naive and overly trusting. Additionally, in the months since coming out I had been taken advantage of time and time again - which was partly my fault. The gay scene is very cliquey, and Bostonians in general are not known to be the most open of individuals. Looking back in hindsight, I know now that this is a Boston characteristic. It seemed like they only went to the club to talk about and judge other guys. No one wanted to meet new guys at gay bars or queer spaces. I could forgive all of this if the gay men in Boston were friendly, but in my experience they were far from it. The music was always Top 40 remixes, and no one seemed dressed to impress everyone wore the most basic outfits. The men always looked the same, blending together into one white, twinky blob. After a year of coming out, I was growing tired of the same old Boston gay scene.
