Pride Month is upon us, but being queer isn't easy, and in a lot of states, it can be downright impossible. With anti-trans and anti-gay laws going into effect across red states in this country, it can be dangerous as well. While there are lots of people fighting hard to reverse these laws and even make progress over previous wins, people still need to live their lives, too. If you're queer, and in a red state, or find yourself in one, know that there are cities that are a lot more accepting than others. The following infographic gives you the most gay-friendly city in every red state right now.
Don't give up on traveling and being yourself. You are wonderful and amazing. Everyone should get to live their authentic self, but if you don't feel comfortable going to any of these places, because politics have made your life a nightmare, consider traveling to blue states, if you can, and these 10 small towns in particular. You can also see the best places around the world to go as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community in my next post. Stay safe when you're traveling.

If you're new to Pride, congratulations, I'm proud of you if you've decided to let everyone know your true self, and here's a quick "how to" for your first time.
Remember that you matter, people love you, and we're glad you're here. I'm glad you're here.
