An hour east of Pittsburgh. Like Johnstown? I visited Johnstown last NYE and it was alright. I liked Somerset and Indiana(the town) a little better. You shouldn't have too much issue being gay there(my SO and I are queer).

Curious, where in AR were you? I come from NE Arkansas. Definitely not gay friendly! In Memphis now, but looking to make the move to Carlisle PA next year.

Had grown up in mountain home, moved with family to hasty Arkansas, if I recall the name. Worked online and on a farm, but parents would make me go to a bible camp almost every other weekend to get the gay outta me, didn't help that it was quite literally next door. Got the hell outta there quick. (Also have looked at Indiana (the town) it is an option seems quiet enough

It's a shame how bad Arkansas is. Especially Harrison. I can't believe they still have sundown towns.

If you're in Johnstown, definitely check out The Fish Boat, Balance Restaurant, Stone Bridge Brewery, Flood Museum, and go to a Tomahawks hockey game!

I saw several same-sex couples in Johnstown walking hand in hand. It seemed like a pretty inclusive place.

Somerset was just adorable. 100% would live there.

The Flight 93 Memorial is a must see.

Indiana is a little college town. I spent time at Levity Brewery and had a blast getting to know locals of all ages. Food was damn good too!

Good luck. We love traveling to and through PA so much we've made the decision to move there. But to the adorable college town of Carlisle. It checked all the boxes.
