Thinking of moving to the area

I'm a 24 year old queer man currently residing in the new England area, looking for a fresh start and AZ is calling my name. (Especially with the thrill of no snow)

Here's my question to the locals, what do you like, what do you hate? Why would you recommend az or should I look elsewhere?

Thank you for your time and input

Gay Mesa AZ native here, downtown Mesa is pretty progressive and I feel very comfortable around the bars/restaurants there. The hardest part is how spread out the valley is. You must have a car. The “gayborhood” is in PHX and at least 20-30 min from Mesa. We do have a lot of MAGA fools, even in the queer/gay community. It all depends on what you like to do and the vibes you prefer.
