Has anyone contemplated moving to a big city after coming out? I live in a small-ish city. I've been trying to meet gay men, and I'm working on that, volunteering for our pride celebration, going to a social group. But usually that requires quite a bit of driving, as there aren't a lot of groups right where I live, and people here are sorta cliqueish. I used to live in Seattle (although it's been some time), but the trade off would be leaving a relatively secure job and moving away from family. For the moment, I'll probably keep on keeping on, but I think about moving back to Seattle or even another big city a lot. The thing is, there's no guarantee it will be better. Just curious what people say and think.
If you can find a job and earn enough money to afford to live there, I definitely would consider making the move to a big city if I were you. I'm not sure where exactly you live now in PA, but if you're concerned about wanting to be close to your family, maybe you should consider moving to a city there like Philadelphia or Pittsburgh?
