Where's San Fran?

Salt Lake City #1? Gay Mormons?

Eager Eagle must have moved to SLC.

While I highly doubt that SLC ranks higher than San Fran, we do have our fair share. I went with my wife to a restaurant downtown one day and I could swear we were the only hetero couple in the place. On New Years Eve, we went to eat at The Bayou (pretty good cajun food for this part of the country, BTW) and was window shopping on our way back to the car. I walked into a store not realizing until I got inside and did a 360 that it was one that caters to that lifestyle...complete with leather underwear and the whole nine. I immediately walked back outside and noted the sign on the outside that read "Cocksters." I wish I had looked at it before walking in. :-)

So, yeah, it's more prevelant in SLC than you would think.

I take it no one actually read the article.

Key West? Assville, NC? Wherever salty is located? This list is definitely incomplete.

San Fran didn't make the list because they are a gay category all to themselves.

San Fran? New Orleans? New York City?

That's their problem not America's. And Tel-Aviv is more likely to get hit by Muslim terrorist with the Big One vs. Jerusalem.

Do they ever?

"Instead, the staffers of the blog based their account of the cities’ “per capita queerness” on “totally accurate if decidedly subjective criteria.” Criteria like number of LGBT bookstores, International Mr. Leather competition semifinals, and “The Veronicas” concerts..."
