Charleston, South Carolina
Darren Colananni, wealth management advisor for Centurion Wealth Management, recommends Charleston based on its climate, affordable cost of living and health care.
Although it's located in the traditionally conservative South, Charleston has evolved into a popular LGBTQ+ destination over the years, with neighborhoods such as Riverland Terrace serving as a hub for the community.
If you are seeking a retirement community in the Charleston area, nearby Columbia, South Carolina, offers several options, including Mill Creek Manor and Holiday by Atria.
Austin, Texas
Retiring doesn’t mean giving up an active lifestyle, and Austin can be the perfect place to embrace one.
“Austin is known for its vibrant music and art scene, making it a great place for LGBTQ+ seniors to settle down in retirement,” Chavez says.
A liberal hub in a conservative state, Austin has a large, active LGBTQ+ community.
For seniors looking for a dedicated community, there are plenty of local options, including the up-and-coming Kindred Uncommon, a unique community being built in nearby Buda.
That is the thing, probably some gay or lesbian wrote the article who had no problems there so they figured it must be a safe place for everyone! Just typical “Gay Inc.” behavior thinking only of themselves.
You have this pegged correctly. No way. No How!
ReplyDelete"That is the thing, probably some gay or lesbian wrote the article who had no problems there so they figured it must be a safe place for everyone! Just typical “Gay Inc.” behavior thinking only of themselves." And they will be with us always. They have been pulling that crap since the forming of the GAA in early 1970. I am not fooled at all by last Sunday's rally. West Hartford PLEASE!
ReplyDeleteHaving a former SO who worked in retirement community “sales” and visited a number of them, I would view any representations from these communities with consider skepticism.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree! There are lots of ways trans folks are forgotten by L and G-including attendance at TDOR events!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely L and G privilege, and can we talk about all the ways they don’t show up for TDOR?!
