America's Gayest Neighborhoods

The Atlantic Cities ^ | 6/6/12

This month cities all across the world are partaking in Gay Pride celebrations. Jed Kolko, the chief economist at Trulia, takes a look at the neighborhoods in the U.S. with the largest gay communities ("gayborhoods").

Using 2010 U.S. Census data, which lists 646,000 same-sex households, he calculated the neighborhoods with the largest percentage of same-sex male couples:

[SoFloFreeper]

Most homosexual (male) city in America: Castro (San Francisco) California: 14.2% of households.

Most homosexual (female) city in America: Provincetown (Cape Cod) Massachusetts: 5.1% of households.

And yet the militants in the homosexual community will have us believe 10% of our entire nation is homosexual.

Instead of hatred, I suggest we look at this list of cities and pray for their repentance and for God to change their hearts to turn to Him. He *can* save their souls.

Just 0.3 percent of households nationwide are “gay” — that’s a statistic that needs to be widely publicized.

No matter what the left would like for us to feeeeeeeel, they are an aberration, not the norm.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I’ll bet those “neighborhoods” are also the AIDSest “neighborhoods” in America too.

Just 0.3 percent of households nationwide are “gay” — that’s a statistic that needs to be widely publicized.

And that is probably too high. I bet they listed my roommate and I as "same sex couples".

We're both straight.

Shared housing is simply cheaper.

But I bet the decor in the houses is “fabulous.”

balanced rooms are sooo fag sway.

There are so many variables here - many heterosexual people are opting NOT to get married. Personally, I blame the legal system who has lawyers and passed laws that penalize men (exclusively) when they marry. Seriously, is there a single benefit that a man gets when he marries? Once married, he forefeits 50% of his income and worldly possessions (should the 50:50 divorce occur); only under rare conditions does he get possession of any children. He can be accused of practically anything, and must prove his innocence. And lastly, a man need not get married to find a sex partner.

So, why would a heterosexual man get married?

Leaving that aside, very few homosexual men get married - because it's hard for them to do so. Many choose not to have a 'steady' and move on from one relationship to another.

So, the numbers given are truly hard to calculate. I do not believe homosexuality is really much above 3-5%, and no where close to the percentage of homosexuality that rate that is promoted on TV. I find it interesting that the rate is in the 3-5% range, because that is the same range that birth defects are also found. I believe that homosexuality is a defect, physically, mentally, spiritually and morally.

And that is probably too high. I bet they listed my roommate and I as "same sex couples".

Interesting - but I would think that people in your situation (same sex room-mate; cohabitating for financial reasons) would be a lot higher than 0.3%. I lived with room-mates for over a decade; and when I grew up, this was the norm for young adults between moving away from their parents until the room-mates got married.

Park Slope, NYC is very lesbian, and it’s a very nice place to live, too.

Rather, let's pray sends lightning bolts down upon the organizations that keep 'the message' alive.

When the Gay center of America only has 14 % gays in it, that shows just how few there really are. And how outsized is their influence.

But then math must be homophobic.

[smokingfrog]

They’re not really looking at cities as a hole - just the zip codes.

[Salman]

Those are “committed couple” percentages.

Which explains why the West Village in New York City didn’t make the list.

My brother’s theory is red-brick. Whether that means gays are attracted to red brick or construct with it, he doesn’t say. Is Williamsburg on the list?

[Hebrews 11:6]

"Couples without kids need less space and therefore are better able to afford desirable, expensive urban neighborhoods."

I'm guessing there's not a whole lot of tithing going on, either.

[scottjewell]

“Just 0.3 percent of households nationwide are “gay” — that’s a statistic that needs to be widely publicized.”

Yes, it does.

[driftless2]

"0.3%"

Oh no, I watch tv and movies, and I'd say 25-30% of the population is homosexual. Maybe more. (smirk)

“And lastly, a man need not get married to find a sex partner.”

How many married men feel cheated in that part of the marriage agreement?
