Funny you should talk about your surprise... I was interviewing a candidate from New York City yesterday for my old job.
He said the same thing.... this was his second visit to Rochester and he was finding his perceptions of the city and company being challenged. He had major concerns about whether he and his partner would be welcomed in the community.
When I told him about the HRC rating, that shocked him. When I told him that The Advocate ranked Rochester as a top five smaller city for GLBTers, I could tell that got him...

Interesting. I grew up in Rochester and I really didn't get that impression at all.
Maybe we're talking about different sides of the tracks or something; or the canal I should say. Maybe my perception was just completely wrong the whole time.
