How can I find people like me?

Hey! The thing is that I live in a country whose population is mostly homophobic. So, finding new friends like me(lgbt) is very hard for me. I don't like the apps like grindr or hornet because let's be real those apps aren't the best place where you can find someone to talk or share things. Is there anything that can help me find new friends? Should any of you guys wants to talk to me, just message me.
