What are the best cities for gay folks in Delaware?

In this episode of Queer Money®, we’re headed to the First State and shining the spotlight on Wilmington, Delaware—the most affordable LGBTQ-friendly city in the state and the proud owner of an HRC Equality Score of 80 (not too shabby, Wilmington 👏).

We spill the tea on what makes Wilmington worth the move—like Crimson Moon, the video bar/dance club hybrid that keeps the local queer scene glowing well past bedtime. 🌙💃

But wait, there’s more! We also peek into other Delaware cities (hi, Dover 👋) that might be lower on the equality score but still give your budget room to breathe.

Oh, and did you know Delaware has one of the highest LGBTQ+ population percentages in the country at around 7.5%? Small state, big queer energy!

So, if you're dreaming of a move that lets you live your truth and afford the occasional drag brunch, this episode is for you.

🎧 Listen in and let’s keep building fabulous lives—on our financial terms.

Takeaways:
  • 🏳️‍🌈 Wilmington Wins (Mostly) - Wilmington snatched the title of most LGBTQ-friendly city in Delaware with an HRC Equality Score of 80. Not bad, but we’re still side-eyeing that missing 20 points. Do better, Delaware.
  • 📜 History, Heimlich & Homo-Economics - Delaware may be small, but it's got big history energy—first to sign the Constitution and home to Henry Heimlich (yes, that Heimlich). Now it's time to make history again with fierce financial empowerment for LGBTQ+ folks.
  • 💸 Queer Money = Financial Power to the People - This episode is another installment in our mission to help the LGBTQ+ community slay their finances—even when the economy is giving “meh.” Because money is freedom, baby.
  • 🏠 Wilmington: Budget-Friendly and Queer-Affirming - Turns out, Wilmington has the lowest home values in the state, which means you might actually afford a home and still brunch on weekends. A rare combo!
  • 😤 Not-So-Perfect Equality Scores? We Noticed - Delaware cities, we see you—but we also see that none of you hit a perfect 100 on the HRC Equality Index. We expect more. Especially when queer lives and rights are on the line.
  • 🏖️ Rehoboth Beach, We Need to Talk - You're the coastal queen of queer getaways… yet you scored only 61 on the HRC Index?! That’s giving us glitter on the outside, but not enough equity on the inside. Let’s fix that, shall we?
