3. Illinois
Percentage of people who are gay: 3.8%
Total gay population in the state: 489,260
When it comes to LGBT rights in the US, Illinois is certainly one of the most liberal states, considering it was the first one to abolish the sodomy law. In addition, gay marriages are legal in the state since 2013, and homosexual couples can adopt children. With these rights in mind, it is no wonder why Illinois is one of the states with the biggest gay populations in America.
