Gayest Cities in America, 2012 - SLC, UT #1!
We're number 1!!!
@double moo sent this to me and I HAD to share.

It’s no secret that megalopolises New York City, Chicago, and Los Angeles have robust LGBT life — and we’ve even heard tell of little queer hoods like the Castro and P-Town. This isn’t that list.
By Matthew Breen
There’s the official census with information on same-sex couples as a percentage of the population, then there’s our accounting of the gayest places in the USA — and we know the twain shan’t meet. But do we really need another article telling us that the homos gather in West Hollywood and Hell’s Kitchen? That Northampton, Mass., is still Lesbianville, USA? (Don’t get us wrong, we love those places.) Instead, in our third annual accounting of the gayest places in America — according to our totally accurate if decidedly subjective criteria — we look at the per capita queerness of some less expected locales.
15. Denver
Denver is simultaneously outdoorsy and a rapidly growing metropolis, and its attitude is exceptionally laid-back and gay-friendly. (Screw the antigay zealots in nearby Colorado Springs.) A day spent skiing, fishing, hunting, or camping with the fit locals can lead to an evening dining, clubbing, or camping of another sort. Much of the sporting and social scene is devoted to the ladies of Denver; witness the Capitol Hill neighborhood, girl-watching at There Urban Whiskey Bar (ThereDenver.com), a nosh at Racine’s (RacinesRestaurant.com), and dancing at Charlie’s (CharliesDenver.com).
14. Long Beach, Calif.
How gay is Long Beach? Its pride celebration is one of the country’s biggest, and the Long Beach Pride float seems to make its way to every other Pride event within 500 miles! There are a ton of gay and lesbian bars, restaurants, a big boat suitably named the Queen Mary (QueenMary.com; it’s also haunted, and a hotel). The sunny, welcoming city provides a more relaxed alternative to nearby Los Angeles.
13. Austin
No amount of backwoodsiness from previous and current statehouse residents George W. Bush or Rick Perry can taint the cosmopolitan, countercultural, and friendly nature of this capital city. Bands, barhopping, and barbecue feature prominently here, for queers and others. The lesbian-owned Hotel San Jos

What? One really manly, heterosexual man leaves Salt Lake City for the East Coast and all the sudden the city becomes the gayest in America?

I actually think it's pretty cool.
How can you have your non-dairy pudding substitute if you don't eat your wok-braised tofu?

It's only "science" if it supports the narrative.

Watered down substantially, my comment was...
I find it kind of funny that the perceptions out there are that Mormons are hating on gays and gays are hating on Mormons and lo and behold, the headquarters of the Mormon faith and the number 1 gay city in America are the same place! Whoaaa, what does it mean? Double rainbow!!!

Yes sir, that's SLC.... rainbows and unicorns!
I can honestly say one of the best nights clubbing I've ever experienced was when a couple of lesbian friends took me to the paper Moon with them. It was a blast and SLC does have a thriving gay community.

Doesn't suprise me that SLC is the #1 gay city, it is near another large city referred to as Happy Valley ! Wait a minute, gay means something different now.

Very interesting, it seems only a few short years ago this same group acted like they are discriminated against. Just have to remember that private property has its own set of rules. example, Main st. I think that the Mormons are not as full of hate as is sometimes protrayed by non mormons.
