In descending order. Does that sound about right based on your travels and what you've heard and seen? Bakers, wedding planners, preachers and florists beware.

I’m just glad they didn’t have one extra city.

I don’t encounter a lot of homos in Dallas, but I guess it doesn’t surprise me. Dallas proper is a minority/leftist run sewer.

If these are supposed to be the “gayest” cities in America, why does the list include Montreal, Canada and Dublin, Ireland?

Seems like every fun city in America is being taken over by queers.

My wife and I were married in one of the most bountiful cities in the US (SF) over 40 years ago. My wife and I would love visit in remembrance of our nuptials, but, as it stands, we will just settle for our memories of this once wonderful city. We would rather not have our memories spoiled by what SF has become.

Ann Arbor yes, Detroit no. Kalamazoo is probably far more gay friendly than Grand Rapids.

Austin is not Texas. That's already well known.

Likewise, Houston, with a sodomite mayor, is not Texas. Dallas is run by leftists and is not Texas. Ft. Worth once seemed like Texas but the metrosexual types have moved in and displaced the Western types. San Antonio, El Paso, McAllen, Brownsville and the entire valley is run by socialist Mexicans. When all is said and done none of the cities embody true Texas values. For that informal rule of thumb, Abilene might be an exception since it has a large Christian university but it too is swarming with the enemy, the criminal invaders from Mexico.

True Texas remains in the rural areas and the nice suburbs where Christianity and Conservatism remain triumphant.

Because the author is either ignorant or stupid.

“I don’t encounter a lot in Dallas...”

Ever been to the Oak Lawn area?

They put in Montreal, so by America I assume they mean North America.

But then I see Dublin, Ireland.

Idiocy abounds.

The left can’t even be debated with due to their utter ignorance, incoherence and irrationality.

When (former) Detroit city council president Charles Pugh was caught in an inappropriate relationship with a high school boy, he fled town. He turned up in Seattle.
