Thinking about making Richmond home? Beyond the numbers and the neighborhoods, a lot of people want to know what a city feels like — where the community gathers, whose doors are open, and where you'll find your people. This is that guide. Richmond backs up its reputation. The Human Rights Campaign has given RVA a perfect 100 on its Municipal Equality Index for several years running, and the tourism-backed OutRVA initiative has championed the local queer community since 2014.

Richmond realtor Steve Davis shares his OutRVA feature — favorite RVA spots, the city's growing LGBTQ+ community, and why Richmond is a great place to live and be out.
