Hey new to this board and just wondering if anyone could tell me some good places to live as a lesbian. I mean I know big cities sure, but I want to move somewhere smaller, so is anyone living in a smaller area thats open to gays and lesbians?

yeah I am looking for something in the middle, you know my ideal would be somewhere where it averages 40ish in the winter and 80-90ish in the summer. Preferably near some sort of water, and yeah like I said on the smaller side I am near DC now and lived in LA for a year and just don't like the expense and constant business of the areas. But I want to be within like a half hour of a mall and movie theater=) hows that for more specific?

Rehoboth Beach, DE is a gay-friendly area. There are a lot of gays that have moved there from the surrounding states. You have your choice of many beaches in southern Delaware and nearby Maryland. The Cape May Ferry will also transport you across the river to New Jersey.


If course, I'm a little biased because I live in Delaware.

Might I ask, out of curiosity, what is behind the name hogwaffle? I had a good chuckle over it. Welcome.

My imagination wanders to all the possibilities dealing with hogs and waffles and a combination thereof. Hm...it could have been hogs as in pigs or as in motorcycles, and well, the waffle part is self explanatory. It reminds me of the phrase "hogwash." So, maybe you meant to say hogwash one day after having waffles for breakfast. You couldn't get your mind off the waffles, so you accidentally said, "hogwaffle." Then everyone had a good laugh, and the name stuck with you. Or it could have been something completely and totally unrelated to that scenario, like you were riding on a motorcycle eating waffles. Whatever the reason, I laughed. Thanks.

I'm not going to be helpful to you right now with this question. I remember seeing a travel magazine's poll on where's the best places to live and work for gays but I don't remember the name of the magazine at this time. See what I mean by not being helpful???

Do some google (not googling, at least not till you're sure of the place) and see what pop up! :-)

Anyway, hello and welcome to the board. :-)

johnson city, tn and the surrounding tri-cities area is a very good, very supportive, and fairly well populated gay/lesbian area.
