OVERALL, Massachusetts is more than tolerant.I'd say outright accepting of gays and Lesbians (1st state to legalize marriage-and proud of it! CT just did). There are other parts of Quincy that are a bit grittier so just be careful. Lot sizes are small but the houses are cute and well maintained in their neighborhood. I don't know much about Quincy except to say my friends live in Wollaston and it's very pretty and they like having access to public transit and walking on the beach (although I doubt they actually swim at Wallaston Beach). Prices are high but you have easy access to Boston and lovely restaurants & shops. I have friends that are same-gender couples who live in Wellesley and like it a lot because they can walk to everything. It's a terrific town with large lot sizes, lots of hiking trails and preservation of conservation land, and a quaint town center. Not that there aren't a smattering of McCain signs in town (yikes!) but our town tends to lean liberal. Because our small community has a UU church and the Peace Abbey it tends to draw many progressive-minded, socially active people. I know several same-gender couples who live near me in Sherborn (west of Boston). I think most suburban areas of Boston you'd feel welcomed but I can only speak to the metrowest and north shore.
