That "list" is suspect.
And conspicuous by it's inclusions and exclusions

Orlando was picked 2nd by some sort of algorithm the writer was using. I don't think it's very good. There are certainly lots of LGBT residents but I find many other cities a lot more active for the LGBT community. I was shocked when the article said because of GayDays Orlando is so high. That's 1 week a year and most of those folks are gone back home afterwards. That's like saying you are a well paid server when, at one meal, a rich diner leaves you a humongous tip once a year, but every other work day you are getting the average 15%-20%.

Heck, we don't have a real performing arts theater (yes, it's being built but that's years away) or even a leather bar here.

For a good LGBT community you need culture, something Orlando is greatly lacking in.

Salt Lake City is the gayest city in America. The one in Utah.

Sure, gurl.

Yes, I've heard the SLC pride parade rivals the one in San Fran every year!

Strange that NYC isn't even in the top 25.

Pretty interesting list.
