Believe it or not, Tampa Bay is gayer than New York! According to recent research by the Williams Institute at UCLA, LGBTQ people make up 4.8% of the population of the Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater metro area. In comparison, it’s 4.5% for the New York-Newark-Jersey City metro area.
The gayest place in the United States is — shocker — the San Francisco-Oakland-Berkeley metro area (6.7%). And the gayest place in Florida is the Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford metro area (5%).
