    I'm surprised NYC was not near the top of the list.

    I'm surprised Chicago isnt on the list. There are a lot of gay people and there are sections that are mostly gays.

    I was going to say I was pretty surprised as well that NYC was not on the list.

    Totally true about Austin and Va. Beach. Not just high populations, but very open about it as well.

    The county where Austin is located (Travis) also has local ordains regarding discrimination based on sexual preference (and other benefits, like domestic partnerships, health insurance for said partners, etc.), so it attracts many people.


    Also, this list is probably showing "per capita" numbers and not the overall numbers.
