Atlanta a Homosexual Hotbed
Atlanta’s reputation as a magnet for gay men and lesbians was bolstered by a recent analysis of population and demographic data that ranked the city among the top three major U.S. cities with the highest percentage of gay residents. Some 12.8 percent of Atlanta’s adult population — about 39,085 residents — identify as gay, lesbian or bisexual, according to the analysis conducted by the UCLA School of Law’s Williams Institute on Sexual Orientation Law & Public Policy.
