So have you ever wondered what the gayest cities in America are? I did, and since I love dicking around with numbers so much, I decided to look it up.
UCLA released a study last year, using census data and field research, to determine the number of gay and bi people who live in America's cities.
I have listed below the top 50 cities ranked on the percentage of their population that is gay or bisexual. Some of it won't surprise you. San Francisco is #1 (duh). But some of it will. Who would have thought Salt Lake City was a bastion of helium heels? It's #11 on the list. And Pittsburgh is all the way down at #45. So much for Queer As Folk.
So, with no further ado, I present the rankings. Enjoy!
