    Even thought I'm only 17, I can't help but picture myself living happily in another country like Ireland, Scotland, or some area like that in a small old country side setting with historical meaning. I'm a transguy who would be seen as a gay man, so I'm skeptical about moving. Would you ever move to another country despite their views on you as a person? If so, why the country?

    Half considering Australia or the Uk, strongly going for Canada. Cheaper to transition, or so I've heard. Definitely my plan if my family rejects me.

  6. I'd love to live in Canada, our neighbor to the north. Very liberal there and I have relatives over there too.

    If it was more liberal, I would love to live in Japan. The language, culture, and cuisine is amazing. A bunch of Japanese girls love gay guys (if anybody is an anime fan, you would know, heheheh) and Japanese guys are rather cute. :grin:

    If I would be living in the United States (and depending where), I could see myself moving to another country, definitely. Living in Canada though, and having lived in Europe, I can say that Canada is a better place, despite it not having that rich cultural history as European countries do. :slight_smile:

    Yes! Since I speak French/Spanish/Portuguese as well as English, I have a lot of flexibility. Luckily France, Spain, Costa Rica, Argentina seem to be gay-friendly places :grin:


    And I DO want to move out of the country in the next 5 years.

    No I don't think I would. When I was a teenager I definitely wanted to, but at least with my current perspective I just don't see the real benefit to it. Every country has its problems, and there are plenty of decent places to move to within the U.S. I think socially we are heading down the right path, even if we are lagging behind other countries.

    Loving the Canadian love from everyone here! Lol :lol: idk if I would but if I did it would be either California or somewhere in europe. I'm not that picky but I love areas with historical significance (hollywood/rome/paris)

    I really want to move to switzerland. I visited there, Germany, and Litchenstein about 4 years ago, and Switzerland was the best. The skiing was great, and the locals were really chill there. I would move there in a heartbeat. I speak German semi fluently due to taking 4 years of it in school. But, if I couldn't move there, I think somewhere near the Mersey river in England would be cool. I've never been there, but it seems like it would be a cool place to live.

    But, of course! Canada, France or Japan.

    Leaning more for Canada though, since I went to university there and most of my online friends are from CA. France second, for i've always had an affinity to the French. Plus, my best friend from high school is now living there; teaching English at a local high school in Orleans.

    I love Paris more than anywhere so I could definitely see myself moving there, but probably only for a year or two because I don't want to permanently separate from my family and friends.

    Furthermore, I'm currently unsure of what I want to do as a career, but if I stick with my previous choice, then it would make sense for me to spend a few years in Germany.

    However, I have a thing for Spanish guys, so I could totally get in on that. xD

    No, I love Texas. Well, I would like to remove the heat. But I would never move out of Texas to Not Texas.

    I'd only move if it had legal spouse benefits and marriage there. Talking moving for any other reason or for fun. Id like to see Italy or France maybe. then decide if is worth moving.

    No, I'm actually perfectly fine with living in American. I was a military child and even after my mother left, we still traveled frequently. I have lived in France and Germany, and traveled to essentially every other section of the world.( But I still need to go to South African. I can't leave them out.)

    I will definitely go back to many of the places I have been and any that spark my interest in the future, but my experiences have really made me see there isn't much of a difference. Every country has an equal amount of shit regardless of how much we attempt to delude ourselfs. This is why there will always be an equal amount of people that want to move out of the country you want to move into and move into the country you want to move out of. Problems only seem worse when they are on your doorstep.

    Anyway, California is the best location for me economically. Despite the fact that I love it here.

    I would love to move away from here someday. I am also only 17, but I could see myself going perhaps somewhere in the UK. I'm absolutely horrid with languages though so I would probably end up restricting myself to a country that mainly speaks English.
