Here are 24 large, small and medium-sized cities that offer an excellent combination of affordability, culture, community and LGBTQ friendliness.
But if you prefer the more relaxed pace of small-town living and still hope to find an inclusive and welcoming community with a fun, artsy ambiance, there are several smaller LGBTQ-friendly towns with big personalities that are worth your consideration. In researching the LGBTQ friendliness of communities all over the country, I have learned that most cities (even smaller ones) have pride festivals, LGBTQ film festivals and other hallmarks of an LGBTQ community.įor LGBTQ retirees, larger cities usually have the most to offer and provide more options for medical care and senior support services than smaller or medium-sized ones.
Today, there is a much broader range of choices to live.
