What makes you think Tampa Bay doesn't have good nightlife?
Tampa/St Petersburg and just about all of the larger cities in FL are quite gay-friendly. A standout is the Ft Lauderdale suburb of Wilton Manors, which has a gay mayor, a majority of gay-owned businesses and the highest % of same-sex male couples living together in the US.
I am a young gay male looking to relocate from New Jersey. I like it here, but it is too expensive, and too cold in the winter. I wanted to move to a southern city because it would be cheaper and warmer. I was looking at Atlanta, hearing it was gay-friendly. Any other suggestions?
Why not look West? You can find cheaper and warmer there too, as well as greater tolerance.
I wouldn't say anywhere in the south is fine - there was a recent hate-arson in Vonore TN. Of course that could be the couple's bad luck of living next to the only bigot in the community.
If the poster says Rome Ga is OK, I believe him, but it doesn't mean every community its size will be tolerant. Some are, some aren't. That's why we have C-D for suggestions.
If you are looking for non-stop club life and circuit parties, Atlanta, Dallas, and Miami/Ft Lauderdale are your only real choices. If you are more well rounded but still want acceptable nightlife, then you have many more options as pretty much any city over 1 million metro is going to have an active gay scene as well as gay friendly areas.
