8. Los Angeles, California
Located in one of the most celebrated states for being just so goddamn cool, Los Angeles, the next one on the list of top 10 gayest cities in America (together with Long Beach and Anaheim) possesses a 4.6% of LGBT population, but it wasn’t always like that.
I will provide you with this paragraph featured in LA Curbed:
“When we think of LGBT culture and the movement for gay rights in Los Angeles, there’s a tendency to think first of West Hollywood. But LA’s rich gay history touches the entire city, from Edendale (now Silver Lake/Echo Park) to Huntington Park to “Ginger Rogers” Beach. From police brutality to the AIDS crisis, the city was often aggressively positioned against the queer community, but it made a space for itself.”
