I live in Palm Springs, but before that I lived in Los Angeles, and I found that to have a very high percentage of gay residents, and a very high percentage of bisexuals.

[@stevehoward3749]

Wilton Manors, Ft Lauderdale Florida. Wonderful gay village

[@Catsclawful]

I've lived on Capitol Hill in Seattle for almost 30 years, and it's a pretty darn fabulous place to be.

[@Abitibidoug]

So Palm Springs is the #1 LGBT friendly city. That's believable, as this city hosts a lesbian fest every year.

[@jojokeane]

That's not very inclusive of you. Engage with the homeless. Do your part in helping others, you hypocrite.

[@lynemac2539]

I lived in San Francisco for a dozen years and it was fabulous! Magnificent!

[@darylecannon1063]

I have visited several times and find the exact opposite. Unless you know someone, others will not talk to you. Even though I am the type to go up and strike up my own conversation. For this to be “The gay Mecca,” it is no such thing. The bars clothes too early for one. The only time I had a fun time is when I went with my spouse. We did have a great helicopter ride around the city. And had a great time in the redwoods north of the city.

[@josephibarra1757]

I’m a Sacramentan from birth and now retired. I grew up with a gay couple and a lesbian couple on the same street. My court where i live have a gay men and lesbian couple on my street and no one treats us any different or with prejudice. Unfortunately I lost my husband last year and everyone was so supportive and kind offering any kind of help and support. I’m lucky to have grown up here. I was surprised Chicago didn’t make the list.

I used to shop in West Hollywood and Broadway Corridor and I used to live in San Francisco when I was going to SFSU. Halloween in the Castro was fun before it got *way* too crowded. Palm Springs is exclusively for gay (and straight) folks who like being cooked at 4000 degrees Fahrenheit.

[@cocoaorange1]

Is Palm Springs that hot?

[@TITO-sy2rn]

Day time high is 109°F in Palm Springs CA as of today, 09/24/2024, still 100 °F 6:00pm, I live here, swimming in backyard this afternoon.

[@grdn02100]

I thought Warm Sands was the Palm Springs gay section, but I was acquainted with a couple who lived in Palm Springs near downtown.

[@brianarbenz1329]

The 3 percent figure is not reliable. I have always read that that the best estimates are about 14 percent of males, and 7 percent of females. Those numbers don't necessarily factor in bisexuals, or transgendered people, so they may not be fully reliable either, but many studies have in general come up with those amounts.

[@mattmallette9797]

So so sad to see the intolerance still present in today's society

[@mcstiggens]

Well, just look at how they conduct themselves in public at these parades and it's not hard to figure out why there is intolerance at all. Its so in your face and insulting and disgusting to everyday "regular" non- degenerate, self respecting people, who don't have to go around flaunting their sexuality and everyone's face, like a complete and total idiot. These parades are like the place where all the village idiots get together to show who can be the bigger idiot. But it's worse than that. There are even many people in the "l g b t" who also see a problem with how the vast Is majority of 'their kind' conduct themselves. There's no place for that in polite, ethical society. Just keep it to yourself and don't make a fool of yourself because you're so proud of your sexuality and Godforsaken degeneracy.

[@freddenker9537]

All these % numbers don't impress me, you get completely different numbers around the world, no one in Ghana, Dubai, Nigeria or Russia will say they are a member of the LGBTQ+ family. People still have to hide... To get real numbers you have to go to countries where there is hardly any discrimination, through fascism or religions. Surveys in Thailand, a Buddhist country where everyone can live as they want....show survey results that are more credible. 15 to 16% belong to the LGBTQ+ family there and are open about it... I suspect this number is true worldwide.....and is just not recognized due to fear of discrimination and disadvantages...and that is understandable

[@4WheelerinMiami]

what about Key West?

[@dr.michaellittle5611]

Your statistic on the US LGBTQ population is way off. Advise you to use the website Statista and not news reporting sources. This website breaks down the populations by country and it turns out the US number is 10%. Brazili is highest at 15%, and Muslim counties such as Saudi Arabia are the lowest, probably because people there are afraid to answer surveys.

As a separte city :Wilton Manors in Florida has to be the gayest city in the USA. Also West Hollywood, Palm Springs,Key West ,New York and Provincetown . Rehobah Beach ?

[@georgieboy9101]

The percentages don't take into account those men who from time to time have sex with other men but do not consider themselves part of the gay community. It is very difficult to actually pin down a number. I would say 6 out of every 10 men have had at least one same sex encounter in their life.

[@valsainking]

I don't understand homophobic hysteria as an organic phenomenon. Nearly every US family has a gay, bi, or trans family member in it, so that, on a human level, one would expect there to be at least a baseline degree of acceptance. Rather than rushing to blame religion, I blame the media for fanning the flames of this generalized public fear and hysteria ultimately rooted in tribalism. It's a somewhat similar story with race relations, with the media constantly fanning the flames to create an equally disruptive type of tension, fear and hysteria in order to keep us culturally segregated into little tribes. Some things never seem to change.

Since this is the US we have a freedom of not agreeing with each others lifestyles. I don’t care who you love as long as you don’t involve kids or animals. So to even use the word homophobe makes no sense because I don’t know anyone who is actually afraid of the LGBTQ community they just don’t agree with it. Again, we have free will and freedom. I may not like my neighbor married to an alcoholic. As long as people don’t hurt someone else because that’s illegal, let the have their own opinions without name calling. This whole video was extremely consistently calling people homophobe. You don’t like being judged yet you are judging.

My god. This list is complete bunk! LA? San Diego? Ft Lauderdale? Miami? You can’t just go by sheer percentage numbers. The population of LA is huge. So of course, it’s going to appear that the percentage of gay people is smaller than a place like Orlando. But LA has thousands upon thousands of gay people, not just in West Hollywood but in Silver Lake in the valley on the coast, downtown, etc. etc. A city like Orlando is not even close to being as “gay” as a place like LA.
