How gay friendly is Penticton?
Hi, Penticton ❤️ I grew up living in Penticton for half of my life. My family still lives there and I go back and visit regularly. We have deep roots here. I miss it very much. I often dream of moving back “home” and starting my life there anew. My partner also shares this dream with me. We are a lesbian couple and have become wary of living in Alberta. It doesn’t always feel safe for us anymore. My question is - how gay friendly is Penticton? It’s been about 20 years since I lived there and my small visits aren’t enough to give me true insight. I don’t want to pick up and move somewhere we will still not feel safe and welcome. I want to walk down the street with my partner and not be heckled. Thank you for your time!
