Can you name the place with the highest percentage of LGBTQ people in America?
After an election year in which pollsters took a heavy hit for credibility and accuracy, or lack thereof, the never-say-die folks at Gallup have come out with a new poll that claims the highest population of self-identifying lesbians, gays, bisexual and transgender Americans, by percentage, can be found in Washington, D.C.
Thats right, President Donald Trump now lives in the gayest place in America.
According to the Gallup survey, 8.6 percent of people in the District of Columbia identify as LGBT (they didnt use the Q for queer or questioning in its survey), more than all of the 50 states, and even the territories.
Vermont won the honor of being the top state with the highest self-identifying population, at 5.3 percent. California, Massachusetts and Oregon tied for third place with 4.9 percent and Nevada was a close 4th with 4.8 percent. Right behind is Delaware, with a very close 4.7 percent. And bringing up the rear, or should we say bottom, is South Dakota with a measly two percent.

Having experienced Louisville's thriving, exciting St. Matthew's district first-hand, I'd have to say that doesn't surprise me. With Kentucky being light green, I have to assume that every LGBTQ person in the state sooner or later gravitates to Louisville.
