Gay young professional needs info on where to relocate!
I'm a gay 23 year old, recent college grad who has spent the last year working in finance in Providence RI. I was born and raised in Rhode Island but would like to venture out to a larger city to pursue grad school (MBA) advance my career and enjoy the social aspects of it. What cities should I consider. I love Providence and its liberal attitude and quirkiness, but its too small for me and too close to home (parents lol). I've also lived in Boston and London so know those scenes well. I would prefer a coastal city, well educated and liberal like the Northeast. Weather is not so much an issue but a good gay social/bar scene is. Would my best options be NYC, LA, Chicago, Ft Laud/Miami, SD, PacNW? Any suggestions would be great!
Thanks!
Ps. For those interested in moving to Providence, its a great town, and a place I would consider when I'm eventually looking to settle down.  |

I'd have to say San Francisco or Chicago. Chicago would be cheaper and is much larger. San Francisco is smaller but has some great scenery.

Here's the Top 101 list for communities with the highest % of male same-sex couples living together. A lot of the highest ranked are in the Atlanta area, including mine. I can tell you that DeKalb County, GA was ranked #4 in the US for same sex couples living together by the US census, which was a total surprise to me...until I started really looking around.
Top 101 cities with the largest percentage of likely homosexual households (counted as self-reported same-sex unmarried-partner households) (population 5,000+) |
