Even though the title includes 'business' it's really a quality of life ranking that takes into account both pro and anti lgbtq state legislation, rewarding and deducting points accordingly. (Btw, I'm a Texan who moved my family initially to Massachusetts and now upstate NY when I was 40 because of the political climate. I'm 57 now and, man, did we make the right decision!!)

I don't really feel like I'm better than anybody but being gay has always felt like being in an elite club. I'm so grateful to be queer because it's given my life more depth, I believe.

Hey, guys. 👋

Lately I've been diving into martial arts - just early practice for now, but I'm really drawn to the mindset: focus, discipline, inner calm. At the same time, I've found myself a bit intrigued by the motorcycle culture - the freedom, the connection to the road, the aesthetic too.

I've noticed that some people in both spaces seem to carry a quiet confidence that's really inspiring.

Just wondering if anyone else here shares that mix of interests - judo, karate, moto rides, maybe beach walks after a training session, that kind of peaceful warrior vibe?

Not looking for anything in particular, just curious to see who's out there. Feel free to share your experience, say hi, or drop a pic if you feel like it. ☺️

Wishing calm and good energy to anyone who needs it today. 🥋 🏍 ✨️
