I'm shocked to not see Seattle on the list; I saw more male-on-male open-mouth kissing there than in San Francisco!
San Francisco on the list's top 10 were Key West, Fla.; New York City; Fire Island, which is part of Long Island in New York; Provincetown, Mass.; Los Angeles; Miami-South Beach, Fla.; Las Vegas; New Orleans, and Palm Springs-Palm Desert, Calif.
Most of these could be considered 'destination' locales; i.e. places people tend to gravitate to for fun & vacations. To me, at least (this is my own humble opinion, folks), Seattle doesn't fit that definition. It's like Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, whatever. A big city with it's own style; a place to go to for business or other purpose, but not a 'destination' place. What gets me about the list is Provincetown, Mass. What's with that?
...you got that right....I don't fear SF and it is actually fun to visit...I would say 90% of the time I go you DO NOT see open gay expression especially in the tourist spots.. you get near Union Square or of course the Castro District then yes.....San Diego where I also lived has a much bigger gay population the SF....SF may be friendly to them but it is not IMO the most openly gay city....just the more infamous.....
