Community Information

LGBT+ environment coast beach bay

My community is the area in which everyone I know spends their time, where we workout, eat, attend events, listen to music, and go to church.

There is a large LGBT community that lives largely in coastal Sussex, but as you move west, the climate is less welcoming. As a member of that community, I feel comfortable in the areas in which I live, but less so as I move inland. We also have a very large number of "transplants" from major urban areas, such as DC, Baltimore, and Philly, who live in coastal Sussex, and many of us share a professional background that makes us adhere as a community of interest. It's more urban in the coastal area and less rural -- a huge cultural split.

Those of us who live in coastal Sussex have a shared set of interests in terms of environmental concerns and also the tourism industry. These issues are not shared by communities not relatively near the shore.

In coastal Sussex, we share a concern about unchecked development, sea level rise, and lack of affordable housing.
