Where I live, here in Concord, New Hampshire, same-sex couples are accepted and looked on as equals in everyday life and in most social circles. Of course, we're more comfortable in some circles than in others. But an unusual example of this is a good woman friend who was widowed before she moved into our community. She's a great gal, with lots of interests about which she's very enthusiastic. But she'd be the first to agree with me that she isn't comfortable going places without a male escort. And that includes mostly Gay/Lesbian gatherings.
Naturally, single women living alone far outnumber single males. So you would think the competition for an escort would run quite high. Not so! Singles mix beautifully and the amazing thing is those in alternative lifestyles mix right in as well.
It's quite remarkable and far removed from the town from where Kay and I moved. A mill town primarily at its beginning, it has a small-minded mentality and our eyes were truly opened when we moved to Concord and saw first-hand what a difference there was in acceptance.
Moral - if you're looking for a retirement town and are in an alternative lifestyle, consider joining us here in Concord, New Hampshire. We'd love to have you.
