Podcast Pick: Where Do Gays Retire? with Host Mark Goldstein
Are you retired? Semi-retired? Planning to retire? And to where? Explore the myriad places LGBTQ people choose to retire, and why, in this fascinating podcast. Full disclosure: I was interviewed for it recently and will share that when it comes out. I wanted to put a word in for Lambertville, NJ, New Hope, PA (twin cities with a bridge and the Delaware River between them), and the rural New Jersey area we call home.
Host Mark Goldstein talks to people in places as different as Brisbee, AZ, Cathedral City, CA, Durham, NC, Dordogne, France, Pattaya, Thailand, and many, many more.

Mark grew up in Brooklyn, NY, and lived in Queens, NY, Westchester County, NY, and Stamford Connecticut before moving to the Tampa Bay area in Florida. Soon after moving to Florida, Mark and his husband Peter realized that retiring in Florida wasn’t a great choice. This is when Mark started a Facebook group called “Where Do Gays Retire.”
It took a few years for the group to gain momentum, and then suddenly there was an explosion of growth. From a handful of members, to today’s 12,300+ membership, the group continues to grow and provide the LGBTQ+ community with information on where to retire globally.
Mark started Zoom sessions with people from all over the world who are living in LGBTQ+ desirable locations to educate others.
His latest project was to expand on the Zoom idea to gain a larger audience. The Where Do Gays Retire Podcast was born.
