    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.
