7. Salt Lake City, Utah
While other cities in the ranking are scarcely mentioned in my main reference articles, every one of them seems to lose their shit over Salt Lake City that ranks 7th on the list of top 10 gayest cities in America. Let’s find out why.
“Utah is known as a conservative state with deep Mormon roots, but Salt Lake City has often been a bastion of liberalism and progressiveness.” (…) “In the Salt Lake City metro area, about 9,000 residents identify as LGBT out of a population of just over 191,000”, states Nerd Wallet. This proportion translates as 4.7% of the residents identifying with LGBT.
Mormons firmly believe that sex and marriage are things that should stay between men and women, HOWEVER: even though many of those who were raised Mormon felt rejected by their loved ones for belonging to the LGBT society, it is true that family and community conform a big aspect of this religion’s culture, therefore making sizeable the idea of gay acceptance.
