Queerest Cities in America, 2017

Our annual partly-serious, partly-silly list of America's Queerest Cities is now out of the closet. Weighing cities with over 250,000 people, we looked at the following criteria.

- Lesbian bars
- Trans Pride parades/festivals 
- Gay rugby teams
- Pwr Bttm tour dates
- Theaters screening Moonlight 
- Available misterb&b hosts
- LGBT centers
- Gay rodeos
- Gay bowling teams

The raw score is divided by the population to provide a ranking based on a per capita LGBT quotient. Click here to check out last year's list.
