1. San Francisco, California
Along with the rest of the metropolitan area constituted by Oakland and Hayward, San Francisco accounts for the highest rate of LGBT population in the USA, with a baffling 6.2%. The fact that the population in 2014 of Cisco alone was of 852,469, would mean that –at the time- there were 52,853 LGBT living there at the time. That’s a whole lot of gay, and it also makes this city n°1 in our top 10 gayest cities in America list.
According to the New York Times, “Historians often trace San Francisco’s role as a gay refuge in part to World War II, when the Navy discharged gay sailors, because of their sexuality, at Treasure Island in San Francisco Bay. Many stayed in the city, which already had a reputation as a welcoming place for refugees and free spirits. Other gay people, in search of a safe place, followed“. The famous saying “build it and they will come” has never sounded truer – or dirtier.
