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

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!
