Thinking about moving to Philadelphia?  The city has a lot to offer anyone, and it should come as no surprise that it’s very LGBT-welcoming.  After all, the city does share its name with one of the first major mainstream movies to discuss LGBT themes.  The City of Brotherly Love is a popular travel destination, but it’s also a popular place to move to.  With 1.5 million people, Philadelphia is a large city and is also quite liberal.

It might sound like the plot of a movie—a number of young 20-somethings move in with a bunch of senior citizens, but for a new housing complex being planned out in Hollywood, it will eventually be a reality. The Los Angeles LGBT Center has contributed $100 million dollars towards a new LGBT housing complex that will focus on the two most at-risk age groups of the LGBT community: those in their teens and early 20s and those who are over 60 years old.

Thinking of moving to San Diego, Miami, Phoenix, or Seattle?  These are four fairly popular cities that many LGBT people move to.  While they’re not San Francisco or New York City in terms of the LGBT lifestyle, they also aren’t as expensive or as crowded.  But not all four of these cities have the same housing availability.  In fact, moving to a couple of them can be difficult if you’re looking to purchase a home, but have a fairly strict budget and needs. San Diego San Diego is a popular […]

Texas is known by many in the LGBT community to be a very conservative state.  It’s where Lawrence v. Texas was decided, and it’s currently one of the few states where Obergefell v. Hodges was challenged following the Supreme Court’s ruling.  There are also few laws protecting LGBT citizens in some areas.  However, there are several cities that are very welcoming to LGBT people and have put protecting ordinances in place. Protections Currently, Texas does not have any statewide law prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity.  Employees […]

Are you thinking about moving to Omaha, Nebraska?  If you are, you may have already contacted a gay or lesbian real estate agent there and started looking at properties.  Some people feel that Nebraska is a part of the Bible Belt and, thus, isn’t very welcoming to LGBT people.  It’s true that same-sex marriage wasn’t legal in the state until Obergefell v. Hodges, but it’s also true that the Attorney General of that state made an immediate announcement stating that Nebraska would not challenge the ruling or enforce any laws […]

Those in the LGBT community who are considering a move to Indiana, Kansas City, or Florida will be pleased to hear that these three states (or cities in these states, as is the case with Indiana) have continued moving in the right direction as far as rights and protections go. Many gay and lesbian real estate agents are asked about LGBT rights when people are considering a move to a new state, and no one likes to hear that there are little to no laws protecting housing, employment, or any […]

While marriage equality may have finally swept the nation, LGBT citizens haven’t been as lucky when it comes to employment.  There are still a good number of states where employers can fire you for being gay, lesbian, or transgender.  Unfortunately, this doesn’t seem likely to change in the immediate future.  It’s a concern that many gay and lesbian Realtors have, especially those that work for a firm in a state with no protection.  If you’re looking for a move, here are some of the states that have the best LGBT […]

Many people have questions about the city they are considering moving to, but if you’re a member of the LGBT community, you’re likely to have many more questions than the average person.  That’s because you will want to know if you’ll be accepted in your new home.  A gay or lesbian real estate agent can be very helpful in this process, especially if you haven’t made the move yet and are in need of help finding a home.  If you’re not sure what questions you should ask, this list may […]
