This is where as a community, we need support groups or specific social venues just for ourselves and other LGBT+.
I had the pleasure and benefit of visiting such a group near Exeter, being the local Beaumont group. There are also numerous groups under the broader LGBT+.
Although not exactly local to me, a gay couple who own a B&B, run an LGBT+ drop-in coffee morning once a month, and also a daytime event too, as well as organizing a social network for pub meals, weekend walks, cinema trips, museum visits, et al.
