The 2020 United States Census has confirmed what many in the LGBTQ+ community have long observed: gay men in couples are predominantly drawn to major cities, especially those on the coasts, while lesbian couples often choose small towns and rural settings. Counties with the largest number of partnered gay men are San Francisco, Manhattan, and Boston. San Francisco County stands out with nearly 6 percent of households consisting of gay male couples, the highest concentration in the United States. On the other hand, the Berkshires in Massachusetts, Portland in Oregon, and Asheville in North Carolina lead in lesbian households. The Berkshires, known for its scenic beauty and educational institutions, boasts the highest concentration of lesbian households, nearly 4 percent. #Queer Up The USA View
