Salt Lake City: The Gayest City in America

Post image for Salt Lake City: The Gayest City in America

That’s according to The Advocate which describes Salt Lake City thusly:

While those unfamiliar with the Beehive State are likely to conjure images of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, far-less-oppressive-than-it-used-to-be Salt Lake City has earned its queer cred. There are more than a half-dozen hot spots for men and women, including the eco-friendly nightclub Jam (JamSLC.com), though the sustainable bamboo flooring is perhaps less of a draw than the packed dance floor. The Coffee Garden (878 South 900 East) is a gathering spot for those looking for a caffeine fix, the Sundance Film Festival brings LGBT film buffs to screenings downtown, and lesbian-owned Meditrina (MeditrinaSLC.com) is a true wine bar — yes, you can get a drink in this town.

Via Sully.

I guess I haven’t spent enough time in Utah. Every time I’ve passed through the state it’s felt distinctly not-gay. It’s beautiful, but also sort of empty. And its’ very Mormon which is sort of the opposite of gay. Or something.
