ABOUT OUT & FOUND

LGBTQ+ Relocation Research

We built Out & Found because these decisions are too important to leave to guesswork.

The research these decisions deserve, sourced, dated, and honest about what matters to you.

WHAT WE ARE

Independent relocation intelligence for LGBTQ+ Americans.

Every guide follows the same 16-chapter framework, country by country — from legal recognition to healthcare to what a month really costs.

When you want to compare countries, you compare like against like. Read how we work on the Methodology page.

WHAT WE DON’T DO

We don't rank. We don't rate.
We don't take advertising.

There are no "top ten LGBTQ+ countries to retire to" lists here. Rankings compress complex decisions into a single answer that may not fit your life.

Every guide presents the country's conditions clearly and lets you decide what those conditions mean for your life. Where something can't be verified, we say so.

HOW THIS WORKS

Individual country guides at $97.

Reader purchases fund the research. No advertising. No affiliate revenue. No consulting engagements that could bias what we publish. If you buy a guide, you're paying for country research — not sponsored placement.
