Hampshire County came out of the closet a long time ago. We’re an inclusive, open-minded community that respects your right to love and be yourself.
It’s just another tree-hugging, book reading, coffee drinking, music listening, ice cream eating, sidewalk strolling, gay-friendly, lesbian-welcoming, transgender-celebrating day in paradise… so come join us!
It’s what we’re known for. Western Massachusetts is simply a place where inhibitions melt away. Gay, straight, lesbian, bi, transgender, queer – here, every day is an example of what’s possible when the members of a community accept one another. And some days we even celebrate it in style!
This is a place that puts you at ease unlike anywhere else. This is the laid-back, gay and lesbian-friendly life you always knew was possible. Maybe one day, every small town will be this welcoming. Until then, we invite you to spend a few days experiencing Hampshire County.
