Lgbt friendly states?

My wife and I are looking for a friendly states that are affordable to live in. Trans friendly is one we are really looking for.

We need it affordable as one of us is a teacher.. preferably a blue state! Looking for a town we can live in and have flags and signs up where we dont get hate.

Reference: we live in small town Texas where there is consistent post daily that are anti trans and lbgtq+ it is sad!

Please help us with advice! If you made the move any advice helps as we would be leaving both our families and have never left the state.
