Need a Doctor that would not have issues with gay patients.
Be able to go out once in a while.
Be able to develop a new "family".
I like my Costco.
Never know when you might need a part time job.

(333 posts)Eastern Mass is awesome - great healthcare (including attention to older LGBTQ concerns, social services, etc,)), legal protections, easy to get from urban/suburban to rural/parkland. Very decent public transportation. In general, the big downside is cost of living.
Am I tired of paying extra for civil rights and culture? Why yes. But I would never live in a red state.
There are parts of Western Mass that are more affordable, with varying levels of queer community depending on what letter(s) one occupies.
Winters have been very very mild, too, which is another common downside. Climate change.
