Where the Gays Are

I love pop culture sociology like this, especially when it involves lavender-shaded color coding. WNYC made a map using the US census findings to determine how many self-identified gay couples are residing in the city, and in which neighborhoods. This basically confirms the gayborhood stereotypes of the city. Lots of 'em in Chelsea!

    “Gay male couples outnumbered lesbians 126 to 36.” Where are the gay ladies at?

      They’re in Dyke Slope of course!
      “gay male couples make up 60 percent of the same-sex couples in the city. However, exceptions exist, namely in parts of Park Slope, Brooklyn, where lesbian couples outnumbered gay male couples.”

    Could we change the title of this article to “Where them gays at”? I actually first read it like that.

    Actually, the gay ladies seem to be in a tiny western corner of washington heights. for real, sunday brunch anywhere in that neighborhood = ten lesbians, and at least three babies.
