I'm 19, and I'm a gay male. Without a fake I.D., it appears I can't really do anything to have fun in Baltimore. Does anyone have any ideas about activities I can do to meet more gay people (for relationships, or friendships), or just ideas about things I could do to feel like I fit in with the gay community more? Advice would be appreciated, as a year after coming out, I'm starting to feel just a bit lonely again.

Can you check out groups at the local colleges? Maybe there's some sort of support group/social club.
Otherwise, until you are legal, I think you'll have to rely on fate. Or ask the gay guys you know to introduce you to new people and network that way.

I see that you are thinking politically and locally. This is essentially pagan (not the pejorative meaning) because "pagus" means "district limited by markers." I see that you are thinking in terms of markers because you mention "coming out."
I think that gayness is a court verdict, although it seems like large groups of people are painted in a single brush stroke on the basis of the fortunes of a lookalike or favourite in the drama industry. This is supported Biblically by the tale about the beast that gives authority to the dragon-voiced lamb (false Messiahs/ charity cult leaders) to bring down fire from heaven against the earth (according to Revelation 18:23, the saints and prophets are on the earth). The dragon-voiced lamb then deceives the inhabitants of the earth and encourages them to breathe life into the image of the beast (dramatic depictions of "how life works" especially government departments and agencies). They also receive the mark of the beast in their forehead or right hand to show that they accept the stigma of being unmarried and hardworking (chi xi stigma = 666).
This leads to panic attacks as there's no possible way that you can find your way around in real life on the back of what you've learnt from the fiction shows on TV. You put yourself under excessive stress this way. In fact, the legal system encourages it when judges are handing down corrupt decisions that stratify society with attackers moving upwards, rather than separating them into jail.
Here's some tips. Maybe I should have gone straight to this instead of preaching on.
Use eyes, hands and mouth to keep busy and keep your overall health in good condition. Gay appears to derive from Old High German gahi - fast or sudden. Try lacemaking. Or darts. There's always video games. Be assured that God loves you and it's worth taking your time over what you want to do. Don't fall for any lines from anyone that sound like: "Just relax. You're too tense. You're making everybody nervous." In fact (and I was already in the mood for dispensing some home-grown advice anyway), avoid dignifying sentences that begin with the words "you", "he", "she", "they", or "we." The last one's OK, but just make sure that the person really is speaking for the group, not just issuing the royal we. It's possibly indicative of hyperlexia, which includes verbosity, being unable to start conversations on your own choice of topics, and reversal of pronouns.
All the best.

Meet some gay guys on MySpace, or chat rooms. If you ever to plan out to go with people online, recommended to take a few friends along (few in 2 or more friends). Go out and have fun, and don't be doing some dumb sh*t, okay?
