I can’t believe some fragile fellow downvoted this solid response.
I’d also add looking in the areas south of Burlington. Middlebury is a friendly and welcoming place. Keep in mind, you can feel very very rural in VT literally just 5 minutes from most town centers. So I’d say find a town with a vibe you like and look at places on the outskirts. If you go too rural you risk isolation and it doesn’t sound like you are looking for that.
There’s really no such thing as a gay neighborhood here that I know of, unfortunately, we are all just sort of scattered around. But in all honesty, I feel like proximity to Burlington sounds like it might be something you need. Especially at 22.
Good luck OP!

From experience, there isn't a real LGTBQ community besides the small pockets in Burlington and Montpelier, and there's only 1 or two "unofficial" gay bars in the state. There are no " rural gayborhoods" here, and the closest you'll find in the cities won't line up with your desire to be a gun-friendly prepper.
If you're looking to find a partner, know that the people you see on whatever app you use will be the same people you see in every app in perpetuity without much variety.

Reply to comment by Average-RedditUser1 in Did you know, Burlington had the highest number of homicides in decades, after defunding the police? No surprise there at all. Thank god it was reversed.

That's not how it works, though. Christ, you morons.

Well if you're looking for a beautiful gun friendly state, you've found it. Good luck affording a house though. There's not a lot of inventory and the houses that are available are still outrageously overpriced.

Not LGBT, but Vermont has pretty relaxed gun laws by and large. Also, if you’re looking for a gayborhood you may not necessarily find one in Vermont (minute overall population). However, if you’re content with semi-rural with a nearby wonderful LGBT space maybe check out East Montpelier. Close to the capitol, but definitely on the more rural end of the spectrum. Also Fox Market is close (one of Vermont’s few actively LGBT spaces). They host queer speed dating, dance parties, have a wine bar, do coffee and breakfast, and sell local produce and more.
Edit: spelling, punctuation

Sure he is, last Tuesday. Keep seething. Cope harder. Lmao! Of course you wouldn’t know because you are a liberal. Grand jury has been cancelled the last two days. There is no case.

Do NOT use Discount Van Lines. They presented themselves as an interstate moving company but they’re really just a broker. All of their positive reviews were fabricated. The guys who showed up to pack our stuff were high and tried to say we hadn’t paid for our furniture to be wrapped/padded even though we had. One of them I hooked a trailer on a hill and it rolled down the hill and plowed into our neighbor’s shed, and the movers tried to tell us that we were liable for it. We ended up doing most of the packing ourselves even though we paid for full service. Then - not trusting these guys - I put an Apple AirTag in one of our boxes. When the truck didn’t arrive on the day it was supposed to, I called to ask where it was and they lied and told me they were on their way, when I’m reality they had gone to Buffalo instead of coming to Vermont. The truck sat in front of a house in Buffalo for three days, and all the while they were telling us they were on their way but having engine trouble in Virginia. I finally called again and told them that if they weren’t here with our stuff in 12 hours, I’d be calling the Buffalo PD to report an interstate theft. They showed up in 11.75 hours and told us that if we didn’t pay an additional $1800, they wouldn’t unload our stuff or allow us to unload it. Things got heated and eventually we just had to pay them the money. They unloaded our stuff into the front room of our house (even though, again, we paid for full service, like unloading things into the correct rooms). They went out of their way to use the corners of furniture to gouge our plaster walls. They ruined an irreplaceable vintage chair that my partner’s grandfather gave him. When I tried to seek remuneration from Discount Van Lines, they said we had no claim because we had paid THEM for insurance but that didn’t cover damages enacted by the company they contracted to.
It was basically the worst fucking nightmare we’ve ever experienced during a move. But hey, at least it cost us almost $10K to move here! :(
Bottom line: STAY FAR AWAY from Discount Van Lines!

I’m sorry but that’s simply not accurate. During the peak of Covid, hospitals around the country were caught tampering with death certificates. For example, patient comes in March 1st to a hospital, tests positive for Covid. Two weeks later, said patient gets in an awful car wreck, get rushed to hospital, and dies. What does cause of death say on death certificate? Covid-19. This is not an an unusual occurrence, this has been happening at hospitals around the country, at an alarming rate, all the way from construction accidents, to drug overdoses, and the one thing they all have in common? Death certificate says cause of death, is Covid-19.

Entire neighborhoods that look like this like the Seaport District in Boston are a monstrosity and hostile to human use. Having some variety in architectural style in the Downtown on the other hand is not a bad thing at all.
The library and the bank building are hardly modern by the standards of anywhere outside of Vermont and the biggest issue with the Coop is the parking lot not the style of the building itself.

That is wonderful. My ex eventually got clean and we are friends again. I’m part of her younger child’s life as well as his dad took off. It was just frustrating as it really was eye opening as to how fucked up VT custody defaults were.

It's too bad he wasn't lost in a hole somewhere in the woods. At least as a convinced felon it won't be nearly as easy for Stenger to run any more confidence scams, but the damage he did to Vermont's economy is still happening.

Your understanding of the law is incorrect. If that happened to you or someone you know, you should contact the NLRB.
>You have the right to form, join or assist a union.
>You have the right to organize a union to negotiate with your employer over your terms and conditions of employment. This includes your right to distribute union literature, wear union buttons t-shirts, or other insignia (except in unusual "special circumstances"), solicit coworkers to sign union authorization cards, and discuss the union with coworkers. Supervisors and managers cannot spy on you (or make it appear that they are doing so), coercively question you, threaten you or bribe you regarding your union activity or the union activities of your co-workers. You can't be fired, disciplined, demoted, or penalized in any way for engaging in these activities.
>Working time is for work, so your employer may maintain and enforce non-discriminatory rules limiting solicitation and distribution, except that your employer cannot prohibit you from talking about or soliciting for a union during non-work time, such as before or after work or during break times; or from distributing union literature during non-work time, in non-work areas, such as parking lots or break rooms. Also, restrictions on your efforts to communicate with co-workers cannot be discriminatory. For example, your employer cannot prohibit you from talking about the union during working time if it permits you to talk about other non-work-related matters during working time.
edit: add emphasis

No, it is not law. He can attempt to have some language included in the parenting plan about meeting new partners, or not having the child meet a new partner until the relationship has lasted x amount of time, but there is no guarantee of that.
