The San Francisco metropolitan area has the highest percentage of the adult population who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT) of any of the top 50 U.S. metropolitan areas, followed by Portland, Oregon, and Austin, Texas.
Variation in the percentage who identify as LGBT across the largest metro areas is relatively narrow, with San Francisco's percentage just 2.6 percentage points higher than the national average of 3.6%, and the lowest-ranked metro area -- Birmingham, Alabama -- one point below the national average.
The top 10 includes metro areas from every region of the country except the Midwest. Given the long history of a visible and politically active LGBT community in San Francisco, the city's ranking at the top of this list is not surprising. Similar to San Francisco, Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) like Portland, Seattle and Los Angeles in the West, and Boston in the Northeast, are known for their progressive social and political climates and active LGBT communities. Hartford is the capital of Connecticut, which has permitted same-sex couples to legally marry longer than every state except Massachusetts.

No! You’re kidding, right?
Nuke it from orbit
I’m shocked, I tell you. SHOCKED!!! ;)
Who could’ve known?
Wait! Did we just get Semmens’d?
Call me surprised. Not.
A clever misleading story. Won’t say what the % of total US population. If it’s 3.6 overall in the top 10 urban areas then the total in this country is small.
Gee, there are homosexuals in stereotypical locations? Who knew????????
Liberals always throw out ‘ten percent’ as the percentage of people who are gay...yet its less than that in the gay sanctuaries.
My main surprise is not seeing New York City on the list.

Yeah, that is puzzling.
I was there last weekend and I can assure you that these figures are waaaaaaay off. It seems like one out three to one out of five is a freak.
New York has a big gay community. Perhaps its relatively small percentage wise, in such a big city??
About 6% max, and they’re running the country. Interesting. You would have thought that 20% traditional Christians could have overcome that, but no.
This is sutnning! Hugh and Series!
Hardly a majority even where most prevalent.
If that's true, the general population has had a major psych-job played on them to let themselves be controlled by an insignificant minority.
Throughout the 80's and 90's they kept repeating the lies of Kinsey that 10% or more were homo.
So now all of American knows that the gay "community" is a pack of liars.
And the American public collectively asks: Who cares?
And the American public can go to h___.
then nuke it again...and again...and again
