Guess what is the world's most lesbian-friendly city?? What's surprising news to hear... It's Seattle, where I live... I have seen gays and lesbians hold their hands in public in some areas of Seattle. Seattle is a very liberal town in some ways. In fact, gays and lesbians don't bother me at all...
Below is the message I copied and pasted:
Seattle: World’s Most Lesbian-Friendly City
Distinct from San Francisco’s win as the more male-oriented World’s Most Gay-Friendly City – and yes, we know we’re practicing some sexual balkanization here, but lighten up, it’s a poll – the Emerald City of Seattle [XML/Atom] emerged as the World’s Most Lesbian-Friendly City. Other than a shared appreciation of the female form, I don’t claim to have special insight into the lesbian mindset, so I found this surprising. How to explain Seattle as particularly lesbian-friendly? “Dykes love trucks,” said one Seattle-nominator. They certainly have trucks in Seattle, but it’s also home to the oldest lesbian community center in the country, one of the largest dyke-pride marches, and of course, the great outdoors. And even though the grunge heyday is long gone, Seattle remains one of the music capitals of America, and tough rocker chicks are always welcome. More active dykes also appreciate the ladies of the Seattle Storm, the city’s Amazonian WNBA franchise. But it’s not all crunchy granola, as lesbian promoters have launched several hugely successful parties targeting the urban ladies who like ladies – chief among them Girl4GIRL, which packs ‘em in every third Saturday of the month at various venues. And between parties, there’s always the Wild Rose.
