While your numbers may not be too far off the mark, how is it possible to determine everyone's sexual orientation in a city? Did you send a flier to all 35,500 residents and ask them to mark down their sexuality? And everyone replied honestly? What about bisexuals and transgender and everything in between? Its impossible to determine the exact number.

I think you're reading into that comment a bit too much.

It's fine, 60% of the population is straight. Gay areas tend to be centralized closer to Santa Monica in between San Vicente and La Cienega. Straights can live life just like they would everywhere else. Not sure why people in this post are making it this extraordinary deal.

Fine. It is approximately 60% straight still!

Bpeeps, More like Robertson to Crescent Heights. the parts of WeHo along Melrose and Sunset are heavily straight, while Santa Monica and Fountain are more gay, at least to Crescent Heights or so, then its mixed with lots of Russians
