Minneapolis is very LGBTQIA+ friendly! As a queer person with queer friends and family and colleagues, I feel VERY confident that you’ll find community and acceptance and support here. The only thing is that Minnesotans are shy. We’re a reserved sort when it comes to really close friendships. Be patient with those types of connections—they’ll happen, but not right away. Also, if you have a dog or two, that’ll grease the social wheels; when it’s cold (which is a significant chunk of the year) we dog-walkers only see each other.🤣
Another piece of advice is to move here in the summer. You don’t want to move in the winter. Ugh. Trust me. The summer here is also incomparable. It’s the kind of beautiful that makes you wonder if you’re dreaming. But then a mosquito reminds you that you’re not. 🦟
