Kalamazoo Michigan, the art scene and LGBT+ friendliness. My mail person is queer, half of the library staff are queer, our mayor was a gay man, there's a queer theatre and queer resource center downtown, it's really great!

Sadly we have no set queer bar, though one of them is our unofficial bar but it wouldn't stand up to a proper one.

Oh and of course it's the first and only city I've lived in after moving out, and I went to college here. It's near to my heart. And with Gretchen Whitmer and Jocelyn Bennett killing it, I'm relatively happy hear in the mitten ❤️
