How to meet gay men and lesbians online websites just to be friends?

Q. Im a gay guy, Im very shy with social anxiety esp with gay men but I want to make friends online with lesbians and gay men. I would really like to talk with other people gays and lesbians and start a friendship with them. Its just with online I can be me without judgment and so when I finally meet them they already know me, plus they can have friends and I would have friends to because most likely they would like me too.

What websites are for gays and lesbians that you can make friends, and how to start talking to people online without being creepy. I dont want to do hookups because thats just not me and Im not looking for a boyfriend now because I dont think Im ready to be in a relationship.

I honestly kind of feel like a loser now and yet Im only 21
