We live in a polarized country where many of us don’t feel welcome. Many of our nation’s politicians are intent on reversing the remarkable progress that the LGBTQ community has made towards full equality. Our employers often don’t respect us or value our contributions. They like to fire us for being honest about ourselves.  Many churches preach that our sins are worse than the sins of others, and they want to take away our right to marry. Many of our neighbors don’t want us living next door.  Some of us even have families that have disowned us.  We often don’t feel welcome, and the hate against us is becoming dangerous.

Welcome to Desert Hot Springs, California!  It’s where members of the LGBTQ community can start new families, can settle down, plant roots and live peaceful lives, can start a career, become involved, retire, volunteer and relax. Members of the LGBTQ community can thrive in Desert Hot Springs. Desert Hot Springs is the fastest growing city in the Coachella Valley, and it has the lowest crime rate and housing costs.  The LGBTQ community is welcome in Desert Hot Springs.  There is safety in numbers and we need to stick together, so come join our family and see why it's such a great place to call home.
