- rpazyaquian 10y agoI'll admit not knowing much of anything about Detroit, but I'm not sure how Boston doesn't count as a relatively safe place for LGBT individuals.
- smelterdemon 10y agoI'm sure Boston is fine in reality for LGBT individuals, it's just not the first city that springs to mind in terms of progressiveness. It's more stereotypically lunkheaded.
- jolux 10y agoIt's fine. MA was the first state to legalize gay marriage, and most of the population lives in and around Boston.
- ecopoesis 10y agoLike most places, it depends were you are. Cambridge, Somerville or JP, no problem; but Southie and certain parts of Charlestown are not very evolved.
- maneesh 10y agoSouthie has changed a LOT in the last couple years...
- themoonbus 10y agoReally? Because it is one of the most liberal cities in the US.
