Join a gay men's chorus
The London Gay Men's Chorus welcomes men whatever their experience, and you don't need to read music. There's a waiting list for some voice parts, and non-singing members can join straight away.

Volunteer at Pride
Many Prides run on volunteers. Glasgow's Pride, for example, trains its volunteers before the day, which is a friendly way to meet people.
