You'd just get in trouble in Atlanta.


I could have told you this.

Even in my absence, ADVOCATE magazine as come out with the GAYEST cities in the United States, and the winner is : ATLANTA!
Come on kiddies, you can't sling a size 14 sequined pump and not hit a homo inside the Perimeter! ( or on the flip side, you can't sling a home depot gift card over in the Decatur area and not hit a Lesbian....) Everyone is gay!
All sorts of math went into crowning my home town the Gayest in America.
  • same sex households per capita
  • statewide marriage equality
  • gay elected officials
  • gaydating and hookup profiles per single male population
  • gay bars per capita
  • cruising spots per capita (!!!)
  • gay films in Netflix favorites
1. Atlanta
"Georgia isn’t the most gay-friendly state, but Atlanta is undoubtedly our gayest city—with 29 gay bars here, there’s a reason it’s dubbed Hotlanta. Atlanta’s several queer events include one of the nation’s largest Prides in October (returning to Piedmont Park this year), and MondoHomo, a May event celebrating art, drag, burlesque, film, and BBQ. The gay epicenter is Midtown, anchored by Outwrite Books, a giant gay bookstore bucking the national trend—by staying in business! Atlanta guys are hunky, the ladies are gracious, the gay sports leagues are seriously well organized, and its housewives (and their gay BFFs, complete with handbags and heels) are now camp icons. And who doesn’t love the sweet lilt of a Georgia accent on a knockout guy or gal?"

Read the rest of the cities ... the runners up, and you know, if for any reason Atlanta can not continue as The Gayest City in America........
