For someone who is LBTQIA, which would be safer in terms of laws and attitudes? We are “escaping TX” before next leg session and my 2 young adult children are LGBTQIA. I will be working remotely. They want Portland, I am more comfortable in Vancouver, but worry it’s more conservative there.
Hi Daisy! I believe the links you are looking for are in the description. As for which city in your situation I know the person that runs Vancouver Pride and they are lovely. They also own the Dandelion Tea house in Downtown Vancouver so go check it out! Honestly I think you will find more trouble as a whole not just LGBTQIA trouble in Oregon. The law enforcement in Portland is pretty crappy. Vancouver is more conservative than Portland yes but Portland is so liberal they do nothing so I would worry more about being in Portland. Also if your kids want to visit you can get from DT Vancouver to DT PDX in maybe 15 mins so it’s not far plus as a remote worker you will benefit from the taxes which your kids even if they are adults may still not completely understand the affect taxes have on income.
