\nPer CNN:<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0Salt Lake City, Utah, is known for breathtaking mountain scenery, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, the 2002 Winter Olympics.<\/p>\n

But today it was also named the Gayest City in America by The Advocate<\/a> magazine.<\/p>\n

The Advocate ranked cities according to its own admittedly nonscientific criteria, including the number of gay and lesbian bookstores, elected officials who are lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender, and some edgier metrics like the number of International Mr. Leather competition semifinalists and the presence of nude yoga classes. This year\u2019s list intended to examine cities that are outside the usual orbit of San Francisco, Boston, Miami and New York, and came up with several surprises – Grand Rapids, Michigan, Knoxville, Tennessee. Even Little Rock, Arkansas, ranked 11 out of 15.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Um, call me old fashioned, but if I were a gay chap (again, loving Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr. is not gay<\/strong>) I would just want to be left the hell alone. Being the home of the “Mr Leather competition semifinalists” wouldn’t really change the equation. And nude yoga strikes me as bad gay. I went to a nudist volleyball tournament outside Albany one time, and it was disgusting. There was fat, more fat, and sand stuck in celulite craters. In the movies it’s always hot broads bouncing. In the real world, hot broads don’t play nude volleyball.<\/p>\n

The fact that it wasn’t Hyannisport, Key West and San Fran as the top 3 tells me the advocate doesn’t know how to rank things. Which for some reason reminded me of this scene:
