In the past I worked for an interior design company and of all the men I was litterally the only straight man. I didn't feel alone, but then again we all had a relationship of mutual respect and there were the straight women. I could understand (but wouldn't pretend to be empithetic) to the feeling of loneliness. It would also depend on what part of the country you live in. In Seattle if you're gay there are many places to meet potential partners.
