Gay people in Schoharie County?

[mdm1]

If you are looking for land elsewhere, and are willing to go another hour south or so, the New Paltz area (the better land will be outside of New Paltz proper) of Ulster county is very gay friendly given its rural character (see this about their current mayor). IMO, the area is much prettier and conducive to outdoor recreation than the Schoharie, but it seems like you are interested in nostalgia, so perhaps that doesn't matter.

I've lived in Scho. Co. Nearly my entire life. Gay life here isn't huge, but I haven't had an issue and I live just outside town (Middleburgh) there are quite a few of us in the area some married some not, I love it here.

The town/suburb areas of Schoharie County have definitely loosened up, which is really good to see. Middleburg especially, as Vroman's Nose has been attracting loads and loads of Albany-area tourists to Middleburg so they can take a good selfie and Instagram it so it makes their friends think they're outdoorsy.

There are some parts of the county that are incredibly isolated, though. Freakishly isolated. Like, no cell service or radio reception-isolated. And the flooding from Irene didn't help their isolation much. I actually have distant relatives who belong to a legitimate cult located south of Carlisle.

I would say that the open-minded and more "civilized" parts of Schoharie County would be found mainly in the parts north of Middleburg and east of route 30, and the parts around Cobleskill. And what Irene did to isolate the "boondocks" parts more, it made the larger towns more united and accepting of outsiders. In this day and age, you'll be fine in the populated areas.

Do you know anything more about cults in Upstate NY? I am fascinated by cults. Is your family in the Nxivm cult?
