Ignorant News: The Top Ten “Smuttiest” Cities In America

When it comes to porn, there’s nothing Mickey Mouse about the hometown of Disney World.

In its April edition, Men’s Health magazine ranks the nation’s 100 “smuttiest” U.S. cities. Not only did Orlando, Fla. — home to Walt Disney World and SeaWorld — finish No. 1, but Florida headed the list of smuttiest states.

“It seems that while tourists line up at a kid-friendly fantasy world, the locals prefer one in which Snow White and the dwarfs whistle while they… well, you know,” the magazine offered.

Tampa, Fla. — where the Republican National Convention will take place this summer — came in at No. 8. But Democrats shouldn’t make fun. The home of their convention — Charlotte, N.C. — is No. 5.

Men’s Health said it based its rankings on the number of X-rated DVDs bought, rented or streamed, as compiled by AdultDVDEmpire.com; the number of adult entertainment stores per city, as monitored by StorErotica.net; the rate of porn searches, via Google; and the percentage of households that subscribe to Cinemax, the bluest of the cable movie networks.

The Top 10:
1. Orlando, Fla.
2. Las Vegas
3. Wilmington, Del.
4. Raleigh, N.C.
5. Charlotte, N.C.
6. Minneapolis
7. Atlanta
8. Tampa, Fla.
9. Anchorage, Alaska
10. Austin, Texas

Haaaaaaaay! The Gayest Cities In America?

Haaaaaaaaay!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Advocate.com, a Gay and Lesbian online magazine presented it’s list for the “15 Gayest Cities in America, 2012.” Surprisingly (I guess it is) Chicago is not on the list. Boystown wasn’t enough for The Advocate but check out the top 5! Haaaaaaaaaay!

Utah... Haaaaaaay!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. Salt Lake City

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.

2. Orlando, Fla.

Besides hosting Gay Days at Disney World, where 50,000 LGBT folks and their kids dressed in red T-shirts invade the theme park the first Saturday in June (and spend $100 million in town), Orlando has more gay softball teams than you can shake a Louisville Slugger at. And residents just got domestic-partnership protections. For non-Mickeyphiles, there’s oodles of homo content each year at the annual Orlando International Fringe Theater Festival (OrlandoFringe.org).

3. Cambridge, Mass.

The home of Harvard University likes a smarty-pants, including the nation’s first African-American lesbian mayor, E. Denise Simmons. Though her reign ended in 2009, she is currently in her sixth term on the City Council, which enacted anti-discrimination protections for transgender people in 1997. The town’s Paradise bar (ParadiseCambridge.com) is billed as New England’s only gay club with hot male dancers six nights a week — hey, everyone needs a night off — and the town is right next to a little hamlet named Boston, where allegedly LGBT stuff sometimes happens too.

4. Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

Booting spring breakers from its shores may have not boosted Jagermeister sales, but it sure has classed up the joint. Add to that a mass exodus from Miami, where a real estate boom priced out many gay clubs (then the boom busted), and you have the recipe for a rising homo mecca in South Florida. The area is teeming with gay bars and restaurants, and a ton of guesthouses and spas that run the gamut from mild to spicy. Lesbians are finally starting to move to Fort Lauderdale too, though most girl bars, like New Moon (NewMoonBar.com), are in nearby Wilton Manors.

5. Seattle

When Forbes named Seattle the most miserable sports city in the nation, many of us felt a twinge of empathy. No matter; there’s heaps of other stuff to keep us busy, including tons of locavore and cosmopolitan cuisine, funky bars in a robust LGBT scene, Dan Savage, and hookups — or at least the search for them. TheStir.com noted that Seattle ranks among the top cities for residents who list “casual sex” as the type of relationship they’re seeking.

Salute!
