So, you have accepted you are gay, what do you do next?

At the old age of 26, I have come to accept I am gay. I am male. I find the whole concept of being gay pretty scary, and part of me does still not want to accept it, but it's a fact, I am attracted to guys and not girls. For a long time I have known it, but if you suppress something long enough, and tell yourself it's not true, you start to believe it.I have not told anyone else at all, but have decided I am going to come out shortly. My father will likely disown me, but it must be done, I don't want to live this lie anymore. There has never been anyone who is gay in our family, ever, I know about. It will be alien to them.But after coming out, what do you do next, I don't know anyone who is gay, and I don't know anything about being gay, only obviously that I am attracted to guys. I have never had an intimate relationship, I have slept with a girl before but it was not in a relationship.I am pretty lost, I know there are dating apps and gay clubs but it might be a bit much just to dive in to them, would an app be suitable for someone new. I want to take things slowly. Can anyone offer any advice if they have been in this situation how they handled it, what steps they took first etc?I don't always come across as someone who could be gay, I have a really deep and rough voice and a robust character. I am shy also. I am partly worried other gay people would not accept me. I am also worried I have left it too late, and others my age will already have the experience and won't want to bother with a "newbie". Sorry if this sounds stupid but I really know absolutely nothing about how the gay world works.I am based in London which I assume is a good thing!Thanks all.
