So you’ve thought about traveling or moving to Portland, Oregon. As a lifelong Portlander, I’m here to offer up information and a seasoned perspective. My goal is to give you the information you won’t get in a travel book or video magazine. I’m a lover, an activist and a friend of the community. As a Portlander, I also have inside knowledge and a perspective that you will find common, but it’s also an individual interpretation through my own three decades of experience living and surviving here. Portland is famous for its art, music, and environmentally conscious lifestyle. Portland is a city with the feel of modernization mixed with a vibrant and welcoming personality. Portlanders are comprised of the locals who loyally love the city as they serve as architects and guardians continuing to sing the community’s praises and the newcomers who fell in love and came to the area to enjoy the natural richness of the region and to share the title of what it means to be a ‘Portlander’.  Portland, Oregon is also a busy and bustling city in terms of issues addressed daily in the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer community as well. The Queer community is a vibrant and diverse culture among the area. The local community has faced many battles of equality and understanding. We’ve won many, we’ve lost many; the community is mainly welcoming and harbors many public, private and religious organizations who believe discrimination at any level of humanitarianism based structure is unacceptable. The best part about this town is its continued tenacity and courage to dare to be true to ourselves and our community. Yep!So thank you and welcome. J
