Though urban gays may pride themselves on never living more than fifty yards from a Starbucks, tens or hundreds of gays are apparently moving to the unlikeliest of cities according to a new study done by the Williams Institute at UCLA Law School. The study (reported on ahead of The Advocate issue's release in Tulsa World) uses 2006 Census Bureau estimates of same sex couples and compares these with 2000 Census figures, and found that the five American cities which have changed the most in their gay-and-lez-cohabitating populations are Tulsa, OK; Anchorage, AK; Plano, TX; Fort Wayne, IN; and glorious Jacksonville, FL.
And in other news, Poland is the new Ibiza and Accessory Lady the new Tiffany's.
We're sure that Fort Wayne is like, *super cute* these days and Plano does have an Apple store, but we're concerned about trying to drive ten miles to hookup on Dlist. We want options, and we want them in a five block radius. We also want artisanal cheeses and coffee. If not, we at least want Los Angeles. So call us when the second wave happens ... until then, we're staying in our ghettos.
