Washington, DC only the 8th “gayest city in America” says Advocate

”In the past few years, D.C. has been loosening its tie and doffing the boring blue blazer…. The gay center of the city has migrated east to Logan Circle, a hip, funky area with friendly bars and Whole Foods. Plus, gay-owned restaurants like L’Enfant and Comet Ping Pong are tantalizing the city’s more refined palates.”

From the Advocate‘s debatable ranking of the “Gayest Cities in America.” The list is allegedly built upon significant and silly statistics including a count of Gay.com profiles, lesbian bars, Tegan & Sarah performances, elected openly gay officials, and other criteria. (The Advocate)
