Hey, folks,

I'm potentially moving to SA early next year or sooner. I'm looking for a little advice on a few things, but mainly safety and atmosphere. I'm an out gay man. I know SA itself is fairly blue/accepting, but it still scares me to move to Texas during these particular political times. Can anyone give me an idea of what it's actually like there for queer people? Bonus if you can suggest any non-club ways to make queer friends, especially outside of hookups/grindr and that sort of thing.

I'm generally pretty politically active, left wing. Anywhere decent to get involved outside of just donating to the local Democratic party or something?

My situation is a little different, housing wise, as well. I'll be staying in an RV in Hidden Valley RV Park just south of the city (or similar, but that's the best one I've found so far), working as a CNA until I've made enough to afford an apartment on my own. I don't want roommates, and this is the only way for me to do that realistically. Done the RV thing before, but being outside of the city itself, I'm not sure about safety. So if anyone knows the place, advice there is welcome, too.

Thanks in advance, folks!

Love D&D. It'd be great to get involved in that again. I haven't played in a long time, and haven't played consistently since before 4th edition.
