[quote=Inchante]Don't move to Wyoming . . . east or west if you are looking for relationship opportunity and to get away from small minded people. It is beautiful, undoubtedly, but Jackson Hole is the only relatively progressive part of that state, and it is only a resort town full of the super rich and those who cater to them . . .
[From what I am hearing, truck, sled, Harley, etc. It sounds like you are fond of smallish towns with outdoor activities close at hand. Yet, you also want some place with a sizable population so you can find other gay men to date and people who are used to diversity.
With that order, in the western United States, I would suggest Colorado, Washington, Oregon, and . . . perhaps Northern California. Each of these have larger population centers that are also easy to escape for the mountains. Each of these have significantly sized socially progressive populations. And each of these have smaller, rural town that you could live comfortably in if cities are not your bag.
Colorado:
Washington:
Oregon:
Northern California:
Those are my suggestions. If you don't mind the heat and perhaps picking up a second language, the South West can have some decent opportunities as well.
Arizona:
Yes, you are right. Someplace that has a larger population nearby that is more accepting and open minded. As it stands right now I am a four hour drive from that kind of city. Thank you for your help. I appriciate you taking the time. Like I said I was in wyoming for college but went to Fort Collins CO just about evey weeked because they had trees and it felt more like home. haha I think Colorado would be ok near Denver.
