i have been spoiled for the last 25 years. Ann Arbor and now the Bay Area.
i would not mind being more out in the country in California. i would lose some community, but i wouldn't really be in a homophobic area unless i went WAY out in the country.
If i moved to someplace truly remote, i am sure i would miss queer community, but what i would miss more is the progressive atmosphere i have gotten used to. i don't want to hear a lot of conservative bullshit on a daily basis.
i like all kinds of people, but i don't want to work THAT hard to get over their politics and prejudices. It's tiring.
