I'm considering taking a job in Redding, but looking for housing and seeing the overwhelming number of Bethel-related postings I'm starting to get concerned that the area won't be LGBT friendly. I'm from Chico, so definitely used to a more liberal community! I'd also be looking for housing with my partner, and worried we wouldn't be able to find anything as a couple.

Would you say that the community is gay-friendly at all? Are there certain areas that are better than others? We typically keep to ourselves and aren't a very 'obvious' couple, but hoping to plant some roots and get more involved with the queer community if possible!

Does anyone know of some LGBT-friendly housing or could point me in the right direction?
