I have never before permentantly relocated, and feel that I am having a hard time fitting in (at school and at work), and don't really know how to go out and meet other gay people, it's just something i've never had to do before. Any suggestions?

See if there are any local support groups you could go to. You could call or go to the website of a support group or a gay helpline even and see if they have anything useful to tell you about where people in your area meet up. There's also http://www.meetup.com/
It's not some weird dating site or anything. Go on and have a look for a gay teens meetup or something like an L Word club, Lesbian Literature bookclub or whatever they have for your area. You can also use the site to organise your own meetup if they don't have something you'd like to go to.
Good luck!!!

The advice is the same no matter what your sexuality is. When you find yourself out of your element, get involved with something you are passionate about. If you have a hobby or a creative bent, or are into sports, then locate groups and events that you can start attending or participate in to get more familiar with your new community. Almost every area has a Pride organization, that would be a great way to get to know people. Its takes time, be patient and good luck to you.

Check out the local alternative newspapers for clubs and hangouts that suit your needs. Or check the internet for places in your area. It seems like you put your sexuality in the forefront of your mind most of the time, and it's making you self-conscious. Don't think about it. Just be who you are, and you will relax and draw people to you. Good luck.

Go to HRC.org and look up your state. They have local community centers listed. If you add your location, someone might be able to recommend something close to you.

You should go to the local strip club, girls there are generally bicurious or bisexual, and they will treat you as a queen, or as a king if that is your sexual preference...
