New HampshireI posted not too long ago about a move I'll be making in about a year or so to the east coast. I think we've settled on New Hampshire b/c of some positive business prospects, but want to try and get a feel for the people/community too before I completely settle. If anyone has visited there or better yet lives there, I'd love to hear what the ppl are like, what kind of alternative community they have, what kind of gay community there is and how involved/accepted these communities are by the general public. I'm the middle right now, and as close minded and red neck as a lot of people are in Columbus, we're also making swift progress in a lot of areas when it comes to gay/alternative lifestyles. We're looking to move to the seacoast in particular and I fear moving from the middle to a small town may be disappointing. Is it stifling being gay in New Hampshire? Is it as 'small town' on the seacoast as I fear it might be??

RE: New Hampshire
Depends on where in NH. Most people are pretty cool on the coast. If you go farther up in the mountains, people are more reserved. It's the typical New England "coolness" toward strangers. It's not meant to be rude, just our way as compared to say people in the Midwest or out in California.
Good luck with the business. What type of business if I may ask?

The goal right now is a B&B.
Do you live NH? What part?

Isn't NH landlocked? Some
RE: NH
Nope, it is not landlocked. It is very much on the coast. Here is a website with some info: http://www.nhliving.com/seacoast/index.shtml. Portsmouth is a lovely town; great restaurants and cute little shops. You can hop on a boat for a cruise around the harbour. There is also kayak and sailboat rentals. You can visit the Portsmouth Naval Museum as well. That's just one of the coastal towns and also my favorite.
Radness, I am in Mass, about a forty-five minute drive from Portsmouth, NH. B&B would be cool!
Yeah, seems I forgot about

How long ago did you
How long ago did you move away from NH, FallenDove? My partner & have lived in the Lakes Region for 25 years. Over that time we've seen a lot of positive changes, especially within the last 5 years or so. In fact, according to the news today it looks like we'll be getting civil unions very soon. Granted, it's not marriage, but we're getting closer to equal marriage all the time. http://www.boston.com/news/local/new_hampshire/articles/2007/04/19/ap_news_break_nh_gov_to_sign_civil_unions_bill_1177017934/
