I would think percentage of population gives a better overall number than population as a whole. Wikipedia has a good page, I think it is 'LGBT Demographics'
Example, NYC may have a huge gay population, but its in places like Provincetown or Wilton Manors where it feels 'gayest'.
Good point!
How about a list a the Gayest small towns and small cities? A lot of these places cannot be merely dismissed as "resorts" with a seasonal influx of LGBT folks because they often have a sizable and important year round LGBT demographic.
They put lesbian household's in the equation but not gay ones, and have women's colleges because their logic might be about women experimenting or something?
I heard the Castro is overrated. I've seen people say Boystown in Chicago is a better gay urban neighborhood.
I have never heard of Boystown so I can't say. Was mostly a joke about the Castro anyway. It is San Francisco, the place has rainbows coming out of its sewers haha.
As a straight man with lots of gay friends - interesting list. The criteria is rather interesting and notice how there's no cities over 1 million people on the list. There's no reason NYC, LA, and Chicago shouldn't be on the list
As a gay man who has lived in big city Chicago and other smaller cities, I can say bigger doesn't mean better.
Unless you have to have a new bar to go to every weekend the big city gayborhood doesn't have a lot of meaning.
Bigger city doesn't mean progay politics, tolerance and better qol. I think that is why the study left off Chicago.
What is important to one gay 21 and fresh out of college would not be important to a mid 40's guy who's more established. I think the list gives a good balance. At this stage of the game I would choose Minneapolis, Providence and St. Louis over New York City and Atlanta. .
