10. Hartford, Connecticut
Place number 10 in our list of top 10 gayest cities in America goes to Hartford (including both East and West), with a 4.6% of their population identifying as LGBT. This place is not only where Rory Gilmore’s grandparents lived, but also the capital of Connecticut, which was the second state to legalize same-sex marriage, after Massachusetts.
Considering the previous, it is no surprise that the city is also big on LGBT health (especially fighting AIDS) and art (it actually holds one of the most celebrated film festivals with this theme in the world).
