Hello Everyone. I am planning on retiring within the next 2 years and moving to Ecuador. I am debating between Quito and Cuenca. [I will be visiting Ecuador Dec 2012 - Jan 2013 and hope to visit a few more times before I make a decision between the two cities.]
I am an older single gay man and I would really appreciate responses from forum members on these two questions:
1) Is it reasonable/unreasonable to expect to live in Cuenca as a gay man? At this time of my life, I am not interested in night clubs, etc., but I _do_ need to be able to let friends know who I am. By no means is being gay the only part of my identity, but it is an important part, and I know that one cannot make real friends while keeping such a core part of myself secret.
2) Is there a community of gay men in Cuenca? I ask this because I would like to have the opportunity to meet other gay men for friendship/community. I know that a low likelihood of meeting other gay men would be a negative for me as it would mean a significant gap/loneliness in my life.
Thanks in advance for any and all responses,
Jim
