I have thought of many possible reasons. Winter, perhaps a big one since our winters are cold and long. Not a lot of transplants and many don't stay for long. Minnesotans have family and friends and no time for new friends.

Are there gay and lesbian members on this board? What's your take on it? What's been your experience?

I'm from Minneapolis, I don't live there anymore, but there was this nice bar/club I used to hangout at downtown, you should check it's called The saloon. I don't know if its still anything like it was when I lived there but it was really fun and laid back..

multiple rooms with bars, a game room, food, a dance floor, and a smoking patio with a fire place.
You should deffinetly check it out.

I was acually part of a lesbian/gay community in minneapolis, and I feel pretty alone here, in San Francisco of all places. Honestly the gay scene/community from my experience was alot more friendly and happy in MN much more that my experience here.
