[questions about the USA]

Heyhey Hello friends!!!
Especially hello to my american followers for today uwu
I'm looking for a nice place where to immigrate in the USA (since I've got such an opportunity)
And I want to ask you about your native places:
about state you live in
about cities that to your oppinion is the best for living
especially if you know something about places that supports LGBTQ+ and on the other hand those where people are mostly opposed
Actually, you can share with me any info
and I will be glad if you ask your friends to participate in this discussion too!
Hope your winter holidays went well and now you have the strength to continue working/ studying in the new year!
There's a lot of places to eat, explore, even to work too :3
I've already checked some photos of the city and it's just gorgeous *o*
Personally I live in California and it's widely regarded as the most welcoming state for LGBTQ+, but even so there's a strong rural/urban divide. Much of the same holds for Oregon and Washington (state) too.
What you will find, though, is that there's a strong correlation between LGBTQ+ acceptance and burdensome cost of living. Urbanization, education, wealth, liberal values and LGBTQ+ acceptance largely go hand-in-hand here, so if you're not bringing in a professional salary you'll often find yourself squeezed out of these areas, and you may have to make compromises (like aiming for a mid-sized city in a mostly rural area in a state with a reasonably LGBTQ+-friendly state government). If you try to live in San Francisco on an artist's income, for example, you're gonna have a bad time.
Usually those who come to the USA trying to go to live in big cities, yes that's a trye story :D , but I'm such a person who really love small towns ( because I was born and live in such quiet small town) and + rural areas
Actually, that's why I'm asking here who and where live. Maybe someone live in such a quite lovely town about the charms of which only the locals now and foreigners have no idea :D
most urban centers will be more welcoming, but if they are in a conservative state life still might be very difficult for someone on the LGBTQ+ spectrum due to laws enacted state-wide. Double-check resources like these before picking a state to move to, even if a given city seems great:

Denver is not as crowded as the big cities like Los Angeles or New York, but it is still a big metropolitan city, so traffic can be a bit of a pain sometimes. It has a vibrant LGBT community (the current governor is an openly gay man who has won elections easily two times in a row) and it also hosts its own furry con.
Come winter time, there are days when it can snow quite a bit, which can make traffic a pain to handle. For those who like skiing, the ski resorts are just a few hours away by car.
Sometimes I do miss some of the things I could do there.
