Is Fort Lauderdale the Gayest City in America?

According to 2012 data released by the U.S. Census, Fort Lauderdale, Fla., has the highest concentration of same-sex couple households in the country, the Huffington Post reports.

Fort Lauderdale beat out huge gay cities like San Francisco, as same-sex couples make up 2.8 percent of total households in the south Florida city, which is about 23 miles north of Miami.

Seattle, Wash., came in second place with same-sex couples making up 2.6 percent of the city's households, according to the 2012 Census Bureau data. San Francisco placed third, with 2.5 percent of same-sex households.

According to the Seattle Times, the city's gay population has sharply increased: in 2011, Seattle had 1.7 percent of same-sex couple households.

Some may not be shocked by theses statistics, since Fort Lauderdale has been a popular destination for the LGBT community for sometime as it has 19 gay resorts, according to HuffPo.

But as the Times reported in 2011, same-sex couples are choosing to live in Seattle because they "want what other families want - affordable housing, more space, good schools."
