Western mass is queer as hell, and we love it here

This is true ! Our daughter loves it here in western Mass. she is a young lesbian and we relocated from NW Georgia which is a hellhole . Actually no. Politically a hell hole would be a better place than living in a district that worships MTG and is still fighting the “yankees” in an imaginary civil war errr or as we were taught in school the war of northern aggression (this was the 90s🤦🏻‍♂️).

Watching our daughter become comfort and open with who she is has been worth the move in itself. Western Mass has been and is a great place .

Most of Western MA certainly is. There are a few hilltowns between the Berkshires and the Pioneer Valley that are not as tolerant as other areas.

Some of Franklin County is a bit conservative leaning, to put it politely

Lots of conservative trash in MA, there are drooling idiot hillbillies and fascist bootlicker manbabies who have punisher stickers and confederate flags on their cars

Lots of trump trash too

Meh, lots of it isn't though. Unless they're looking to live in the woods, Franklin county is fine and TBH would still have options even if they do want the woods.
