Gays accepted in Easton, MD? (Baltimore, Salisbury: transplants, real estate, live in)

[Xistnnn]

My gay domestic partner and I presently live in Stevensville, MD, just east of the Chesapeake Bay bridge. We are middle age, keep a relatively "low profile" and have found this area largely accepting of gays. We have made several gay friends here.

We are now considering moving to Easton, MD. Any comments or advice on gay acceptance/gay life in Easton, MD? We're not interested in the bars that younger people may be interested in. We're employed, stable, and just wanting to be sure that we would be relatively accepted and not overtly harrassed in Easton, MD.

Thanks for your insights.

I lived in Easton(well st.Michaels) most of my life I now live in Chestertown, I think with the size of Easton and the diversity there you will be fine. I can tell you we love and have many gay couples in Chestertown and you would love it here! kate

My partner and I are looking to move as well . We are looking to see if it would be great for us and our son. We went to st. Micheals on yesterday and had a wonderful and relaxing day. If you find out any information please let us know.

My brother and his wife live in a new development in Havre de Grace. There is a gay couple who live a few doors away from them and all of the neighbors have become friends. Not only is acceptance evident, it's beyond that; nobody cares ~ they're just "Fred and Sam." (Not their real names of course. ) I realize this isn't about Easton or St. Michaels, but thought it might be helpful anyway. Good luck with your move!

I am in real estate and I deal and have many gay friends, there is no problem in Easton or St. Michaels as well as other areas here on the shore. This is a lovely areas and friendly to all. It may have been different years ago, but I have been her 30 years and have never seen a problem at all, everybody respects each other and lifestyles do no enter into it.

The above post isnt entirely true. People here have very traditional (close-minded)views on issues like interracial couples and gays. I can site specific examples where ppl that I know have been judged and disliked because of their "lifestyle" choices. I'm in the Salisbury area and I can tell you that not only is there no culture here but the general public here isnt friendly at all. The shore has historically been known for being unwelcoming to transplants. My coworkers are constantly judging others and into each others business. I was hoping this was possibly just the case at my workplace but then after talking to my wife she mentioned the same thing at her workplace. I cant speak for Easton though. Easton, geographically is closer to Baltimore and real civilization which will mean more transplants from other areas. The shore isnt known for progress or forward thinking. HTH

Honestly what you discribed sounds no differnet then any place I have lived. Im from Cambridge, MD and lived there my whole life until my husband joined the Army but when I was in Maryland everyone gossiped at the work place, people will always be closeminded and most people are set in there ways. Now that I have lived in Kansas for about 5 years its the same here thats just how people are unfortunately. I personally think that Easton will be friendly to gay couples they might not agree with it but they wouldn't go out there way to make you and your spouse uncomfortable.
