Atlanta is good for this, though it's getting more expensive these days. Still pretty reasonable, and the economy is great for people who want to work hard.
How isn't Atlanta on this list. Like seriously, there are gays everywhere, and there are like 3 pride festivals a year. Maybe it seems overly gay to me, since I'm not gay. But in Seattle, I never noticed gay people to the extent I noticed them in Atlanta. And they're not in the closet, they're pretty out there with it. Far more flamboyant than anything I've seen in Seattle for sure.
As a gay male myself I too would recommend Atlanta. It's one of the gay meccas (with NYC, DC, Chicago, Miami, LA and San Francisco) despite what magazines may say, and of the group far and away the most affordable. There is a very high concentration of gays and lesbian in Atlanta (neighborhoods such as Midtown, Buckhead and Five Points) as well as inner ring suburbs such as Decatur, North Decatur and North Druid Hills. The weather is a nice perk too, you don't get the screaming hot Texas heat/humidity or bone-chilling snowy winters.
Being gay is just a small part of a person so it's kind of hard to say what city is best. I'm gay and black but wouldn't touch Atlanta. Not because it's a bad place but because it's not me.
Columbus, St. Louis and Minneapolis are good places with unemployment rates below national average and reasonable cost of living. The weather may be a turn off.
