Each morning I...
 
Tumble out of bed
And stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
And yawn and stretch and try to come to life Jump in the shower
And the blood starts pumpin'
Out on the streets, the traffic starts jumpin'
For folks like me on the job from 9 to 5

Just got back from Montréal a few days ago. Always a good time. I only made it out to the strip clubs the Saturday night of my visit. I checked out both Campus & Stock (each will hand-stamp if you ask, so you can leave & come back the same night).
Both were pretty busy and entertaining but the dancers at Stock were more my type looks-wise. I could definitely see the Campus men appealing to some customers, though. The Stock dancers were generally a lot more aggressive in trying to get me to go in the back for some private dances.
I did go in the back for a few at Stock with handsome, hairy Fredi (Freddie?), who wasn’t aggressive out front (but friendly in the back!). He’s not on their website but he does show up briefly in another dancer’s video sample (23 seconds into Gatuso’s). https://www.stockbar.com/en
Gatuso & Santiago each gave me their pitches to go in the back, and I suspect either would have been a lot of fun. I was just getting tired & didn’t want to go crazy with spending on my first night of the trip. (I thought I’d be back the next night, which unfortunately didn’t work out.)
Bbuck was also there and looking HOT too. He had some facial stubble and was quite acrobatic during his turn on the pole. I think he also had some chest hair (a plus for me). 
I didn’t notice much panhandling or apparent junkies in the Village that Saturday night, despite what I’ve seen in some other Montréal posts on here. 
The ArriveCAN and U.S. MPC (Mobile Passport Control) apps each made getting through the Montréal airport faster. (MPC is only for U.S. passport holders, I believe.)
The 747 bus into town was packed on Saturday night but had plenty of room Tuesday morning going to the airport. If you buy a 3-day pass for C$22, that’ll let you ride the 747 ($11 one-way if you only buy a ticket for that) as well as the metro unlimited for 3 days. For the 747 back, I bought a 1-day anywhere-Zone-A pass for $11, and that includes use of the airport bus.
(And besides being a quick, affordable way to get around, the Metro seems to have a lot of hot men riding it most of the time. Including some hot Middle Eastern guys in case you like them, which I do.)
The botanical garden is wonderful as ever, but I would eat elsewhere unless you’re a hardcore vegetarian or vegan. Their restaurant has gone all-veggie & I didn’t really care for the items I tried. 
   As for money: The exchange rate is great right now if you’re American. Hardly anywhere takes Discover, so make sure you have Visa or Mastercard.
 

Welcome to the Company of Men. I'm glad you found us.
The Delaware County website has a page of LGBT+ resources. Some are located in Philadelphia, but by the looks of it, Delaware County isn't very far from Philadelphia, so perhaps they are doable for you. You mentioned not having been to Philadelphia in years, so maybe now is a good time to venture into the city.
When I came out in the mid-1990's at age 32 (older Gen-X here) I was concerned about losing family and friends. I lost no one. Granted, my situation was different than yours (never married, no kids) but the fact is being gay doesn't mean you lose people. Several of the older (70+) men in the coming out group I co-facilitated had the same concern and, frankly, it just didn't happen. There is hope!
The older gentlemen in our group would recommend two organizations to our older first-time members.  One is Prime Timers Worldwide, a social group that has local chapters in many cities. It looks like the Northern New Jersey chapter is the one closest to you. The other is an advocacy and resource group called SAGE. If I was recommending a group to try first, it would be SAGE. At first glance, it might look like you would not benefit from their services, but I think they could help point you in the direction of what you are looking for.
EDIT: The gents in our group would quickly mention to the younger guys that they were welcome, also. A couple of the twenty-somethings joined them and found it very enlightening.
Lastly, I couldn't help but notice you started and ended your first post with commentary about negative feedback:
First, let's call negative feedback what it is: rude, hurtful, vindictive, and mean behavior. Those who engage in that are jerks. Don't even bother with them - they won't listen to what you said and will be hurtful anyway. 
Second, and this is from personal experience, when you lead with negativity, negativity has a habit of finding you. I spent a pretty good chunk of my life doing that and I was miserable. Once I let go of that (and it wasn't easy) I was much happier and became more open to other people.
Hang in there! There is hope. This forum right here is a good place to be. We have people (yes, we have a few women who are members) of all backgrounds. Generally speaking, folks are helpful and supportive. When they aren't, other members will keep them in check. 
I look forward to your continued participation in the forum.
