Pride Month means it’s time to celebrate all things that encourage the dignity, equality, and increased recognition of the LGBTQ group. So go ahead and wave that big, beautiful rainbow flag—and, just maybe, zero in on a place to buy a amazing new home.

It’s also the perfect hour to pause and recognize that while the United States has come a long way from the 1969 Stonewall riots, which sparked the modern same-sex attracted rights movement, 2022 is on route to break the record for the number of anti-LGBTQ bills introduced in states across the country, with at least 320 highly restrictive bills pending in state legislatures, according to the rights group Release for All Americans.

So, as we act each year, Realtor.com® searched for the most LGBTQ-friendly and affordable cities for homebuyers. We looked well past the big coastal cities famous for their thriving gay scenes—and wildly exorbitant dwelling prices—like New York and San Francisco.

Small towns are all about your neighbors, and when huge hearts are uncover on Main Highway, everyone benefits. We’re happy to distribute this listing of the best petty towns for Homosexual folks in the U.S. because we know home is where we can be ourselves. In these small-scale burgs, gay-owned businesses abound—or maybe there’s just one, and that’s okay. Besides annual Pride celebrations, there are events around the rainbow group like drag shows, book clubs, and history tours. And if you’re not lucky enough to live in one of these towns, gay travelers are welcomed with gay-friendly accommodations. Time to book a visit!
