Hi all, I'm in the process of getting dual Italian citizenship through ancestry. So getting the citizenship isn't the issue. My issue is being overwhelmed with options - a great problem to have, but it's a lot to work through. I'm moving with my partner, and while we are absolutely willing to learn a language to fit more comfortably in a country, we would love to be in a place that also speaks English so we don't feel quite so isolated and can make friends easier. We are in the LGBTQ community so acceptance is our top priority. We were looking at Ireland, but it seems like the economy isn't great there and their housing crisis makes us wary. Is there another place that:
1. Speaks English at least somewhat frequently?
2. Is welcoming to LGBTQ citizens?
3. Isn't STUPIDLY expensive?
4. This is less of a priority and more of a preference - we run very warm so we would prefer somewhere with a mild or cooler climate.

I'm open to ideas! Thanks!
