Absolutely not true re: the City Limits. More gays live in the suburbs than in the City now, DeKalb County in particular.

There are gay bars outside the I-285 Perimeter.

Oh, and South Georgia is a long way from Atlanta.

Atlanta is the gay capital of the South. And one of the nation's most diverse. Whether you want to dance your feet off at My Sister's Room lesbian bar or spend a leisurly afternoon at Outwrite gay and lesbian bookstore. With one of the nation's largest gay pride parades, gay film festival and numerous other cultural events, you'll understand why they call this "Hot-lant

Alright...so are you gay and have you been beaten up in the Bronx or Brooklyn? If not, "you wouldn't have no clue" either.

That's good to hear. Atlanta is definitely helping to change old biases common in the South. Same can be said about Houston & Dallas. The progressive cities in the South are lessening the grip of evangelical haters.

Right I feel you and I wish more people were like you. I think it shouldnt matter what my lifestyle is because it doesnt concern anyone. but for someone reason there alot of people who say they are straight focus too much time worry about gay people

Atlanta has a pride parade in June (Halloween this year) too. Most major cities have pride parades. So parades alone doesn't make Chicago more gay friendly. Not to be ugly of course just saying.

No offense, but not what I could see. And perception can be reality. I've never seen so many black gay people in my life before. Some of them are real characters too -- quite funny.

Are there any statistics that show the breakdown? I know this guy Ty at work here in DC who constantly go down to Atlanta for some parties. I'll ask him since he's both gay and black and I'm not. LOL!
