Hi there. We're considering a move from the NYC area to Saratoga Springs and I study mixed messages on this board. Some say that the Saratoga Springs area is conservative and religious, making me think it wouldn't be a amazing place for a same-sex couple with two kids. Other people seem to think it's progressive and would be comfortable for a LGBT couple. Just wondering what people contemplate Thanks!

It would rely on who you talked to I'd think. Recent York in general is progressive and more unlock minded than most areas but Saratoga is also more affluent and blue-blood so there's also some stodgy conservatism in parts.

In general though I think you two would be fine. Just don't expect to verb a country club I guess.
