Does it have the highest amount of gays per capita? No.
Is it famously known for it's gay culture like West Hollywood or San Francisco? Not quite.
But through a series of tests and tallies, SLC reigns supreme. Factors like "Nude Yoga Classes" and "Openly Gay Elected officials" helped vault SLC to #1.
"But wait," I hear you asking... "Isn't Utah known for it's MORMONS and not it's Gay culture?"
Well, yes. Of course. But I think there may be a coincidence...

One thing I remember from a lot of my gay friends is how 'anti-gay' they acted while they were in the closet. I'm not sure if it was a front, or their way of trying to draw attention away from themselves, but I remember more than one doing it...
The LDS church has their contributions to the California Proposition 8 fiasco under their belt. They donated a LOT of money to help make sure a ban on same-sex marriage happened in California, even though the number of Mormons in Cali is minimal...
If that doesn't scream 'closet case' I don't know what does.
Also, I recently did a post of Mormons looking for sex on Craigslist. Most of the 'casual encounter' ads I found were male-for-male or female-for-female. There were more Mormons looking for an anonymous same-sex hookup than for the opposite sex...
Now, I know I'm painting with a broad brush-stroke, but I'm doing it in the name of humor. I have a lot of Mormon friends (to be discussed more at a later post) and MOST of them are completely heterosexual. I also know the LDS Church isn't expressly anti-homosexual, as they DO have an openly gay Bishop.
But still. For the lol's? Yeah, they're gay. ;)
