The west coast. Being LGBTQ ain't easy anywhere but it's definitely more dangerous in the Midwest. And even in the big Midwestern cities, if you'r'e black and you move into a white neighborhood you'll be facing social ostracism if not worse, even in 2022. Midwesterners don't make it easy to make friends if you didn't grow up there, unless you decide to join a church. If you're not religious and you move to the Midwest good luck on having any social life. These are all things I've personally experienced as well as talking to other folks. I was born and raised in the Midwest so I don't enjoy saying it but it's true.
And yet, it's easily the best part of the US.
As a former Midwesterner, I'm gonna have to respectfully disagree.
Where would you rate higher?
New England is nice.
