According to this San Francisco has the largest gay population in the US, Seattle 2nd city, for residents who admit/claim to be gay, lesbian or bisexual. it puts the gay population of SF at 15+ % in 2006. I am sure it has grown significantly since then.

So what if it has? Are you doing some sort of thesis paper?

This whole trolling thread was started back in 2007. What year is it again??

I'll tell you right now that it hasn't seemed like SF's gay population has grown significantly any time lately. Seems like the same old SF to me, amount of gay people included. I might even say the Castro (SF's gayborhood) seems a little less crazy than in years past.

LoL a little less crazy than years past? The castro district went up in a near-riot after prop 8. Look at what they did to people just trying to exercise their constitutional right to free speech, if it had not been for the members of the SFPD, there would have been serious violence.

The neighborhood is a bit too intolerant and aggressive for my tastes even as passer by. I don’t like hyper class/sexual/ethno -centric minded locales, what-ever the demographic of such.

Someone's math is off. Now I wonder if the report for SF has also been inflated - for some reason. If it is, then 15.4 percent is too high. Certainly it is no where near 40%.

Haha, the Seattle Times needs a geography check! Since when is Seattle "just north" of San Francisco? It's farther than Phoenix! Does that mean SF is "just outside" of Phoenix?

Not related to the post, but kind of funny to see a major paper write that...
