Los Angeles tops the list of U.S. cities most friendly to lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgender people, according to a newly compiled “Queer Index” released on Wednesday by an online news site.
New York, San Francisco and Des Moines followed, said Vocativ, a site that uses its technology to mine Internet data.
Los Angeles ranked especially high for couples but also has a “healthy dating pool,” it said. New York remains a “mecca for gay and gender-variant youth,” while San Francisco “has a queer heart that keeps on ticking.”
