Madison named one of the most gay-friendly cities in America

Posted:

MADISON (WKOW) -- Advocate Magazine and Advocate.com ranked Madison the #5 gayest city in America in its February 2010 issue.

According to the national gay and lesbian news magazine, "Madison is often called the Berkeley of the Midwest—the east side is hippie-crunchy, there's a brand-new gay dance club (Plan B), and heaps of cute blond dreadlocked nuevo organic farmer dudes can be found at the Willy Street Co-op or the Farmers' Market drinking their own beer from mason jars."

This isn't Madison's first ranking as a gay-friendly city.  The Madison Gay Hockey Association was named Outsports' Top Gay Sports Groups in April of 2009.  The UW-Madison Campus rated among the nation's best LGBT-friendly campuses in The Advocate College Guide for LGBT Students, August 2006. 

Rounding out the list for the top 5 gayest cities in America:

  1. Atlanta, GA
  2. Burlington, VT
  3. Iowa City, IA
  4. Bloomington IN
  5. Madison, WI
