Albuquerque NM vs Columbus OH. - eviltoast

What do you think is best for a poor just coming out gay guy in his 30s trying to escape the things that come with street life. I am also more interested in older people than people my own age. Afaik there is no place for me.

I fully assume I’ll end up homeless but I have to leave.

I’m open to other areas too. Definitely away from north east/new England. Preferably away from East Coast… Preferably near the ocean or a good lake… I don’t want to be stuck in crime or around homophobes.

    Columbus is a great little city in a not so great state. The local politics are quite progressive and the food and bar scene is quite nice. There was a decently sized queer community when I lived there a decade ago, and I’d expect it to continue to flourish as long as a major university is nearby.

    Winters are cold. Summers are hot. The weather is what it is 🤷🏻‍♀️

      Sounds like where I live now but more open minded. I’m just hoping to at least find a better place than where I am. Even the winter in Columbus look to be half of what I’m used to… According the almanac or w/e they use.
