Atlanta ranks as the gayest city in America.

"Odds are 50 percent that if you're gay and lesbian, you'll eventually end up in Atlanta."

*Magazine ranks Atlanta as America's gayest city

According to The Advocate magazine, Atlanta rates as the nation's gayest city, followed by Burlington, Vt., Iowa City, Bloomington and Madison, Wis. Don't bother looking for San Francisco, New York or Los Angeles -- those supposed gay meccas don't even place in the rankings compiled by the nation's oldest lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender publication.

Correspondent Mike Albo awarded points based on same-sex households per capita, statewide marriage equality, gay elected officials, gay dating and "hookup" profiles per single male population, gay bars per capita, cruising spots per capita, and gay films in Netflix favorites.

"I buy that," said Joe Pennington, 23, a barista at Outwrite Bookstore in Midtown. "Odds are 50 percent that if you're gay and lesbian, you'll eventually end up in Atlanta."

While Georgia has only a few gay elected officials and no laws endorsing same-sex marriage, social and cultural metrics vaulted Atlanta to the top of the Advocate's list.

"Atlanta is undoubtedly our gayest city -- with 29 gay bars here, there’s a reason it’s dubbed Hotlanta," Albo wrote. "Atlanta guys are hunky, the ladies are gracious, the gay sports leagues are seriously well organized, and its housewives (and their gay BFFs, complete with handbags and heels) are now camp icons. And who doesn’t love the sweet lilt of a Georgia accent on a knockout guy or gal?"

Pennington, who moved from Cincinnati six months ago, said the contrast between his adopted home and his birthplace is stark.

"I love Cincinnati, but for gay people, there's no comparison," he said.

Albo said the study reflects the mainstreaming of gay people into contemporary American life, noting that Iowa City, Austin, Texas; and Asheville, N.C., have more gays per capita than the major metropolises.

Really? The "hard" thugs are gay. I find that hard to believe because I don't see it.

[Dooch]

no im not saying they are all gay. But since openly gay in black communities is frowned upon, this will lead to more covert straight acting gays and more he she's.

its why there are so many tranny's in south america. Because it is less shameful for a man to be a tranny and live as a woman than it is for a man to live openly as a gay man.

Cultural anthropolgy...interesting class.

You see more transgender stuff in society's where homosexuality is no accepted.
