I would say Lawrence, Brockton or Lynn would be ideal for you.

Not sure where you are, but moving to new england is expensive as hell

My wife and I bring in over 200k a year and moving there would be tough.

Just a thought

Haha, sounds like he has something to hide.

This is the Massachusetts sub and the title is Big Mamie, which is the nickname of BB-59 and that is the ship I was referring to.

I’m a bisexual woman in an openly sapphic relationship with a lesbian and my found-brother is a trans man. I’ll actually tag him ( u/evan-unit-01) and he can talk more about trans healthcare in MA, because I know he really loved the resources he got here. And he could definitely touch on what being trans in MA is like.

Being openly queer has never caused a single issue for my gf and I. We can go anywhere and do anything a normal couple would and no body bats an eye.

The only caveat is that MA, and especially Boston is very very expensive to live in.

Pretty liberal is an understatement

It’s a dig at a previous post about people bringing their dogs to the store.

The biggest issue in MA is the cost of living. You need to be making +40 an hour full time to afford a "fair market value" rental near the city.

Depending where you end up, the cost will vary a little bit, but overall it's just a pricey state, and the cheap rents are going to be in dumpy places.

I dont see any legislation changing any time soon.

And as long as you're decent people you'll be fine.

And depending what you do foe work/hobbies/fun there isn't much night life outside of like Boston and Worcester. Springfield and Holyoke are pretty unpleasant areas. The cape is great if you can afford it.

It's a mixed bag state, there's some nice progressive aspects, and MA health is a cool program, but the cost of living, the housing market, the drug epidemic, winter, the very anti gun rights bs, all suck ass. Other parts of New England are better, some are worse (cough Connecticut cough) but overall I mean, a shitty part of mass is definitely way less violent than southern cities.

If you're in tech, or pursuing higher learning or in the medical fields there is lots to find up here.

Good luck on the move

Just wanted to say welcome to MA!

Yes, Easthampton is also excellent. One of my favorite places I've lived and also very friendly towards the queer community from my experience!

Speaker Mariano has been serving Quincy, Weymouth and Holbrook for over 30 years and has mostly run unopposed

He's not on my ballot, and he sounds like a blow-valve, but I voted for Auditor DiZoglio and want her to do her job and earn her paycheck. I also want my representatives to be transparent so I will ask mine to work on complying with the audit

Maybe cannabis places have to jump through hoops but is there a place where they don’t? At least we have it available to anyone

Ya but they’re open at 5am
