Their Story: Greg DeShields and Tom Love first met at a networking event in New Hope, Bucks County, and their relationship has been going strong for 15 years. When asked what makes Philadelphia a top gay-friendly destination, they cite the city’s inclusion of different types of people, no matter their race, religion or orientation. And all these people add to Philly’s distinct character.

In their spare time from work at Temple University and Thomson Reuters, DeShields and Love enjoy traveling and digging around in their well-kept garden. Philadelphia’s diverse restaurant scene also keeps the couple busy, although they indulge in Stephen Starr’s Barclay Prime when they’re in the mood for upscale dining.
