This is one of the many reasons why I like the http://ic.org 's directory,
Eno Commons' entry is
http://directory.ic.org/records/?action=view&record_id=2663, which a
visitor can learn about a community's demographics and other factors.

For example, one field is "Open to Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and/or
Transgender members:" Eno Common's entry has "Yes (check this article
about one of our families:
http://www.indyweek.com/durham/2004-06-09/cover.html).

If a community is welcoming, those who are less tolerant can self select
themselves out ... and gays can find a home.
