lesbian couple relocating to Gresham (Portland: neighborhoods, suburbs, friendly)

[player8]

Hello! Any ideas if Gresham,OR is lesbian friendly? Which part of Portland or surrounding neighborhoods are lesbian friendly? thanks!

I don't think you will have a problem anywhere around the Portland area.....

Agreed. The entire Portland area is pretty lesbian-friendly.

I disagree. As a minority myself, I somewhat take exception to people outside of my minority venturing opinions on whether or not I will be ok in a given situation. That said there are tons of 'out' lesbians in PDX Metro. Tons. Obviously PDX is lesbian tolerant. This is the U.S., however, it is not Amsterdam. FWIW.

The metro area, including Gresham, is very tolerant, as Leisesturm said.

However, parts of inner Portland (the city's west side and inner east side) and parts of the west side suburbs will definitely be more "accepting" than just "tolerant" to the point where I'd personally feel comfortable walking around, say, holding hands with another man. So I think it'd be even more friendly towards a lesbian couple.
