Hi I'm looking to move for better job prospects ad open my network and make new friends.

What are the best cities that have a huge gay culture, a good job and housing market?

So far I'm looking a Manchester and Leeds.

Yes Manchester and Leeds. Also:-

London

Brighton

Newcastle Upon Tyne

Brighton

Brighton in sussex. Gay capital of europe.

I'm told Brighton is very good (but I'm not gay so no expert).

I would recommend you seriously consider Manchester as your first choice.

Good luck - you will probably find everything you are looking for there.

Masnchester biggest of the two...and more central for other places..VERY tolerant city..EVEN the chavs...BOTH affordable and offer prospects.
