Just go somewhere else, if you’re outside of Burlington area be prepared to get stared at and be judged by older folks.

It’s not some fairyland where gay people are openly accepted. Many people will try to paint it that way but reality is harsh, and unfortunately many will not like your lifestyle and choices in more rural Vermont.

If you buy a house now you will be trapped with record high interest rates and a market looming on collapse/correction. In three years of purchasing my home it went from 140k to 260k. Even if you get a home for an affordable rate you’ll probably be screwed out of work.

Do yourself a favor and move to California or Massachusetts and get a job there. You’ll be far better off and more likely then not accepted more than you would be up here.

I mean, I don't mind if others don't accept homosexuality (in fact I have friends that don't, but still respect me as a human being), I just want to live in a place where there aren't laws against it. if I sent my kids to public school in Florida, for instance, and if other kids made fun of them for having gay parents, the teacher would legally not be able to make any reference whatsoever to sexual orientation (in order to explain to kids that they should not bully another kid based on their parents being gay). I don't care what others think, I just care about discriminatory legislation.

I think is pretty accurate, especially getting hosed on a house. When the collapse comes here, and it will come, a lot of people are going to be paying for some very overvalued houses.
