Top Cities for LGBTQ+ Singles to Find Love
With a lot of us gay singles wondering what the hell is in store for us here in the States this upcoming administration, some of us are thinking of relocating to a different country. Drastic? Who knows! In any case, our friends at Emisil, the one-stop shop for FTM prosthetics, have done research to determine the top cities where LGBTQ+ singles around the world can find love. They researched seven key factors to properly asses a city's appeal. These factors include the percentage of queer residents, queer events, and even Tinder user ranking. They also included the World Equality Industry, the number of queer-inclusive bars and clubs, the costs of going on a date, and a city's safety index. These scores were calculated and scaled on a range from 0 to 100 to rank cities on their sustainability for LGBTQ+ singles who are looking for love (not just hookups). So if you are looking to find a long-term relationship or even a husband, get out the passport, you have some traveling to do!
