We&#;ll start our poll discussion with one that I will readily admit surprised me. Advocate magazine, which is a gay and lesbian themed magazine, focused their annual poll on smaller, less obvious cities. In their words &#;we look at the per capita queerness of some less expected locales.&#; So, while no one nationally necessarily thinks first of these towns as gay friendly, they crave to suggest some unexpected, smaller cities which are just that.

While the criteria used to generate this list was viewed as pretty shaky (number of nude yoga studios & WNBA teams per capita?) and the general public both in and out of East Tennessee laughed off the declaration that Knoxville was a Queer Friendly place to live and attend, I am here to tell you that this mid-sized city is actually a pretty superb place for LGBTQ+ people to attend and call house.
