Why would someone give a crap what your preference is? As long as you're not an asshole? Then I can see people talking shit, but that's more because of being an asshole then because of sexual orientation. Or if you force people to use pronouns if they'd rather not. I honestly very rarely see anyone hate gays for simply being gay, unless they're old or super religious. Which is dumb. Some people I know have no issues with gay people, but get mad over the expectations of having to conform to someone else. I was just curious what homophobia you experience. It may or may not be better, depending on what you consider homophobic. You'll find people who don't like you everywhere. I would guess Vermont would be better though. I travel through Ohio a lot and, yeah, it's fine. But people sometimes forget parts of Ohio feel like you're down south.

People still might not like you, but for other reasons. Like for being from out of state lol. Vermont is quite tolerant though, compared to many other states. Sometimes that's bad. They seem to tolerate addicts and criminals more than I'd like. I think you'll be ok though. I'm not from Vermont either. Vermont lives in its own world sometimes. I'm from all over, And prefer places where people Wear cowboy Boots, but i like the seclusion of Vermont and the fact people tend to mind their business. And it's nice standing out a bit. I don't see many other people wearing cowboy boots, wrangler jeans and pearl snap shirts. If you conform to Vermont and don't try changing it, I think you'll be A ok. Vermont needs more young professionals. And people willing to work. Housing can be tight. It's not as cheap as other places. But I think you can make it work. Sorry if I can't get into more details that pertain to the LGBTQ scene. I know it's thriving for a state of this size. I usually avoid most people because there are too many who are sensitive and get offended over the tiniest things and I don't have time to care. I like people who can take a joke and who know the difference between hate and busting chops. Vermont has its pros and cons, but I'd say more pros. Especially if you're already used to snow and long Winters
