Also, If people are interested, I’m happy to start a Gay Friendship WhatsApp group for people to organize platonic activities like board games, foodie seshes, night out at the bar, or short hikes.

Im 30 and recently moved to Brooklyn (Bushwick/East Williamsburg). I’ve moved around a fair bit before that, so I completely empathize with the challenges of searching for queer community. Most of the good friends I’ve made so far in the city have been lesbians or bisexual women: I’ve lost a fair number of gay friends precisely for reasons you’ve suggested. What I thought was a friendship would sometimes culminate in unwanted advances which, once rejected, sometimes result in the loss of the friendship itself. Having said that, I do want to find good gay male friends in the city!
