Move Over SF, Meet Orlando

February 7, 2011 in Bisexual, Entertainment, Featured, Gay, Lesbian, Transgendered, Travel

Is Orlando, Florida “gayer” than San Francisco?  Apparently enough for WESH TV News to report on it in a story entitled “Orlando Dubbed 4th Gayest City In U.S.“.

According to WESH News, an unnamed magazine ranked Orlando as number 4, ahead of Pittsburgh and just behind (no pun intended) Las Vegas.  San Francisco was reportedly 11th on the list.

So what does Orlando have to offer the GLBT community?  A quote from the magazine calls Orlando a “hot spot for gay and lesbian life.”  We did a little digging and came up with the following additional information:
