Let T.I. & Luda tell it, Atlanta is home to some of the most extravagant strip clubs with voluptuous women prowling the streets day and night. According to the oldest running LGBT publication in the USA, The Advocate, “Hotlanta” as they affectionately call it, is on fire–and flaming for being the gayest city in the country.
Georgia isn’t the most gay-friendly state, but Atlanta is undoubtedly our gayest city—with 29 gay bars here, there’s a reason it’s dubbed Hotlanta. Atlanta’s several queer events include one of the nation’s largest Prides in October (returning to Piedmont Park this year), and MondoHomo, a May event celebrating art, drag, burlesque, film, and BBQ.
The gay epicenter is Midtown, anchored by Outwrite Books, a giant gay bookstore bucking the national trend—by staying in business! Atlanta guys are hunky, the ladies are gracious, the gay sports leagues are seriously well organized, and its housewives (and their gay BFFs, complete with handbags and heels) are now camp icons. And who doesn’t love the sweet lilt of a Georgia accent on a knockout guy or gal?
Gay sports leagues? Hunky guys? Wheretheydothatat? Oh yeah, of course. The same place wheretheysaythat.
The real question is this something really to be proud of? Condemning the gay community is so 1989 but to define a population by a sexuality, is backwards as 69. Morehouse may have won the battle but the alternate lifestyle ATLiens won the war. Feel free to take the closet doors of the hinges in Fulton County.
Thank Atlanta’s favorite journalist, the world-renown, locally respect Maurice Garland for the heads up, whose obviously displeased in his city’s latest milestone achievement.
General Larry Platt warned ya: be cautious of putting your pants on the ground. The Falcons get down in that Georgia Mondohomo Dome. But before you start to poke fun at Atlanta, better make sure your hometown didn’t make the rest of the list thanks to their elaborate gaydar ranking system.

Wow, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago and New York didn’t crack the top 15? Given the huge gay pops in those cities, i’m surprised.
Once summa the rappers get outed/come out, then you’ll have a list.

Don’t get it twisted…we still hold it down with the shake joints. I can’t speak on any of those other activities though. I know which weekends to stay in the house. Ever seen a 6’9″ “chick” rocking a Kobe jersey and high heels? I have. Haven’t been to Lenox Mall since.
Haven’t been to Lenox Mall since.
====================
Mannn, don’t even go in Lennox w/o a female latched to your arm lol. You might get accused.
My girlfriend’s cousin was always talking about how gay the dudes in ATL were when she lived there. I guess she was on to something.
However you would think that would be a boon for a straight guy.
More fo’ me. © The Dude
HaLf of those gay men have girlfriends…that are fine as hell…and this is what I don’t understand about Atlanta
a May event celebrating art, drag, burlesque, film, and BBQ.
====================================================
OMG, is BBQ gay?!
Jerry Glanville needs to become Mayor of Atlanta.
Hulk up Atlanta.
I’ve heard this a couple of times in the past year. One from the media another from a chick that was staying there. Seeing as how I never knew of this in the thirty years i have been on this earth, I am going to say this is strike three and there may be actual truth to this.
Yeah, but really though what perimeters did they use to determine Atlanta is the gayest place in the USA?
I mean like there are gay people everywhere, but I doubt there is a gay capital of the USA or the world for that matter.
Which city won for Most Hetero?
Yeah, but really though what perimeters did they use to determine Atlanta is the gayest place in the USA?
==============================================================
It’s definitely in the post.
HAHAHA
wow @ san francisco not being on that list.
i guess i can now say San Francsico: Top City in the USA for MARIJUANA :)
Toronto is the gayest place in Canada, believe that. I bet if any of my TSS ninjaz asked a gay dude or chick if they’ve been to the Pride Parade, the answer would be a resounding “YES!”. The shit is almost larger than Caribana; gays from all over the world come to Toronto to attend.
I’ve heard about Atlanta being a gay kingdom for quite sometime; all single hetero men should be going to get the leftover womens lol.
@ David D: The gay dudes HAVE girlfriends? WHOA!!! Okay, that’s fucked up. After watching that BET documentary about “downlow dudes” I don’t think that I’ll be visiting ATL any time soon. Yeeeeeuuuuuugghhcckkk!!!
man, I see that shit all the time. Went to a friend’s (girl, don’t worry) house for a party and there were two dudes there super suspect and they had the fiiiinest chicks on their arms. And while I feel bad for women that have to go through that…sometimes it’s their fault. If he’s telling you he thinks you should go with a peep toe pump on ya’ll date then you need to wake. the. fuck. up.

I lived in Atlanta for a school year about 5 years ago. It’s a really strange city. There are some flamboyant cats and suspect ones. But for some odd reason I’ve seen some really bad females there too. What’s really good with that? I dunno. Apparently things have gotten worse since I left and I REALLY didn’t like living there.
I went to Lennox Mall once and never returned haha.
@TC: Twitter was blocked
hah shout out to san diego
i had a friend in the morehouse nrotc program, i have heard some stories
@ El Rosado
@The_TSS_TC indeed. atlanta is the place for men to fulfill their irresponsible whore aspirations w/ minimal effort or judgement.

yeah, the A is off the hook! some of the baddest females down there and a shit-ton of doo-doo chasers too. smh, i used to always see a bunch of homo-thugs is what i used to call them down-low dudes back in the day. you could see them walking through the malls (especially Lennox) holding hands and all kinds of stuff. chicks are trained to ask about your sexual preferences down there as part of the casual conversation because there are so many homosexual men in the area.
Lmao @ TC…man she sounds like a hater, I’m happily attached though, no whore-ism here.
I just joined Twitter, TSS fam holla at me!! @RosadoMan
This Advocate ain’t lying. Me and my wife were just there. Watched the homie JJ get edged by the Thunder) It’s flame city for sure.
Word is Bond, I got discriminated against at a job interview by some Chi Chi Boys. @ of the 3 interviewers were on fire. I guess rejection is Gods protection cause strike 2 was on the horizon.
@=2
hell no…if you in midtown then yeah…but everywhere else no way pal.
Obviously if you go to where the gay people are at (midtown) then you will think the city is super gay…but take a very short ride to the westside, southside or eastside and you’ll be singing a different tune.
and lol @ the criteria…online profiles? Niggas don’t be online here wtf? The number of gay rentals on netflix? it’s so many people that don’t have netflix. WTF is a cruising spot? And San Francisco doesn’t make the cut??? I smell suspect….but whatever “let the blogsites and the magazines tell it” …
But before you start to poke fun at Atlanta
=========================================================================
Heh heh…you said “poke.”
I always thought this was a well known fact.. at least for Black/African American gay, The A is a well-known haven for the male maven.
Reminds me of that Classic Atlanta interview with the late great Pimp C
Always good listenin:

“you gon smell my cologne….”
You seem to be saying Russell Simmons is gay:
“O-kay”
*dead*
SMH @ New Orleans being #6…
Look, I’m totally against any hatred or victimizing one because of their sexuality; but I’m not gonna act like being homosexual is okay…
It’s unhealthy in the purest form of unhealthy; YOU CANNOT CREATE LIFE THROUGH HOMOSEXUALITY. There’s no gettin’ around that whether you’re religious or secular…
My brother lives in Austin, I was just telling him yesterday how their highway made top 5 on the nations list of worst commutes. I’ll have to let him know about this top 10 today hahaha
A BBQ? Where they slap meat across grills…i see what you did thar
http://sports.todaysbigthing.com/2010/01/20
it’s primarily in mid-town, and yeah, this is nothing new. my mom remembers piedmont park (in midtown) as being where gay men always hang out – and that was back in the 60s. i love living in atlanta: tons of women, nice weather, good restaurants, music, etc – but i don’t go into the locker room in the gym.
This Why I want to leave now…
I guess they can change their city’s aka to the “Gay-TL” or from the “A” to the “GAY”
It wasnt always like this! It got real bad after YALL TOURIST OUTTA TOWNERS and those UP NORTH dudes came down here steady complainin bout how they wan move back but still here and shit! But on sum real i blame the mayor she was gay so she gone look out for her kind! then they banned freaknik but it still ain no reason for these dudes to be gay i jus kno it ain the ORIGINAL ATLiens that started this

I KNEW IT WAS A REASON MY CREW AND I KEPT RENIGNING ON GOIN’ DOWN THERE. YA’LL ON BLAST!!!!!!!!! R.O.T.M.F.F.L.M.M.F.A.O.!!!!!!! PHUCK BATTY-BWOY-ATLANTA!!!!!!!!!!

damn i think we should put gay people on a spaceship and send them to pluto or venus so they die over there…god never said anything about gay people so fuck off abomination of society.
Screw off to who ever wrote the last post. You have no idea what you’re talking about you’re just scared of anything that’s different then you because of how you were raised and because you’re a little bastard who probably was neglected by his parents. I HATE PEOPLE LIKE YOU and think you should go to hell because you don’t allow any diversity in this world
Also Homosexuality is found in 90% of the animal kingdom therefore the God you’re refering to who created man in his image and animals as well………also created homosexuality.
I think its Absoulutly beautiful how Atlanta is know widely known as the gayest city in the U.S. and yet anal and oral sex is illagal in Georgia!!!!! Ahhhh God Bless America!!!
