Good afternoon,
Where do I start, 6 years ago I was kicked out of home for “coming out” and for falling inlove with a female. Losing both my parents and brother because In there words “I was a disappointment”. This hit me very hard and took a toll on me. During this time my mother contacted all my close friends and told them not to talk to me and to end the friendship as I was a “sick person for falling inlove with the same sex” . I lost a best friend of 22years. Now I am struggling to find new friendships and don’t know how to.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all for listening.

Do you have any hobbies? I found most of my adult friends from shared hobbies, going to classes and groups that shared that hobby.
Good luck in your search.
I hope you know the actions of your family and previous friends are reprehensible, the time you put into bringing new caring people in your life will be well worth it.
Have you considered joining some LGTBI Facebook groups?
Sadly, your story isn't a unique one. Many people are shunned by their families and friends due to their sexuality. Perhaps connecting with people who can relate to your experiences would open some doors for friendship.
I agree with the above commenter as well, following your interests is a great way to meet people.
I am so sorry that happened to you 😢 where do you live? If you're in Ipswich let me know. My daughter is gay and I love and support her. It's not a big deal for me
I am so very sorry your family has done this
They have the issue not you
It's their insecurities
Coming out is extremely difficult then the reactions that wasn't expected
I came out 11 yrs ago
Each have opinions some good some not so good
You keep moving forward
You should be proud you can be yourself
I suggest you seeing a therapist
You are experiencing grief
With your family
It won't hurt to talk to someone for you
Where in this work are U situated ?
Maybe look into some groups
Such as neighbourhood centres
If sport is your thing look into that
Walking groups
Crafts etc
I do hope you find peace 💟
