I don't know where to go.

General Advice

LGBT person living in the USA. Starting to think it's time to GTFO. I just don't know where to go.

Europe is my first thought, so primarily looking for suggestions within the continent, but I'm open to other suggestions. I'm willing to learn another language, but it would be nice to be somewhere that won't make it downright impossible to get by while I'm still learning, if that makes sense. Strong LGBTQ+ rights and protections are important, but then again, right now I'd settle for "better than America right now". Low cost of living would be great. (Again, would settle for "better than America at least.") Would be cool if the immigration process wasn't *crazy* expensive.

Thank you in advance.
