Welcome to TOTV!! I've sent you a PM with my observations during my October visit.

There may not be many gay couples on TOTV, but remember that is only a fraction of the people in TV. I for one would welcome you as I would anyone else. I hope you get some responses from those who may know more than I do.

I'm hoping that your life as a gay couple would not be any different than those who are heterosexual. People here are very kind and accepting from what I've observed. Welcome.

Nicely said.

I agree.

I think you would be most welcome in The Villages and would hope your life would be a happy one here! Personally, I would welcome you both as I would anyone else, and feel this is mostly the norm in TV. By the way, welcome!! FYI- Portia would love it here!

We have two gay couples living within four houses of us and as far as I'm concerned they're as welcome as anyone else.

thanks for the replys !!!

[gerryann]

You would be welcomed the same as everyone else is.

But, how would anyone know that you are a gay couple? You lost me on that one.

I think most of us are used to having gay friends, co-workers and neighbors in the places where we've lived previously, and it's no big deal. Like everywhere, what matters is that people, regardless of gay or straight, are well-mannered and considerate of others.

I actually think TV's population has a big concentration of "the best of" all the cities, towns and suburbs we've lived in.....the natural diversity here, with people from all states, various countries, walks of life, etc., is exceptional.

My partner and I went for a LSV in early Dec and are VERY interested in moving there. We spent a day with friends that moved from NH down there last year, if you're interested I could connect you so you can hear their experiences. And - check out About Us - Rainbow Family & Friends

Hi Jim / Ron, my partner and I visited TV for about 5 years prior to setting up a second home here...and always felt welcomed by all. We go back and forth to / from our home in Miami every couple of weeks...for we still have friends, and family to visit with, as well as some investment properties to manage...and it's been a great 18 months thus far. It seems that there's a whole lot more gay females than there is males...but heck all you need is a few buddies to enjoy all that TV has to offer. I'm in my 40's...but I've met a few guys in their 20's, 30's and 40's that live here. In most cases a lonely or ill parent was the reason for the move, but they all seem to have adjusted...and like it here. Call me anytime... Ray (786) 326-9375

Welcome ~ you WILL love it here !!
